garden updates, lettuce grow set up, + a solo cozy weekend 💚🖤 

My favorite time of the week: cozy with Fern. Especially nice with a sick toddler to cuddle up with.

Olive is so cute when she is walking…..she has places to go and people to meet.

Hey Fern, you probably already know this but just in case, you can repress the broken highlighter with rubbing alcohol! There are tutorials on it on youtube. Been loving your vlogs lately ❤

You could make a delish jam with all those berries. Cook them down with some sugar and a bit of lemon juice over low temp for about an hour. I bet it would be so good!

You could make a crumble with it, and even put that on ice cream! That sounds amazing.. otherwise I would make a lot of yogurt parfaits lol

I don't know if it's your vibe but you could definitely make jam or jelly with all those tayberries, or sherbet! I'm so jealous of your garden!! You did an amazing job. It looks so good. ❤

Those berries look so delectable. If you’re not up for canning jam or syrups from them you might consider a dehydrator for your next kitchen addition.

Succession planting is something my dad used to do with his corn. He’d plant a crop and then two weeks later lent a second crop. We had corn on the cob all summer and the. The corn was also picked and boned with the corn cut off the cob for frozen corn for the winter.

Fern, I feel you about the anxiety thing, being alone and trying to fall asleep 😮‍💨 or just being alone at home in general. Which, I will say, I usually have to put on either a podcast or one of your vids just to have a familiar voice talk me to sleep 😅

Love the new music! Putting on PJs before 7PM on a Friday is the best! Lol I have a feeling you will be done with the book before the end of the week-end. Enjoy!

Finally followed this channel after following your main account for a while and I LOVE it. I really want to start gardening but I have in a VERY dry and hot climate and I don’t even know where to begin! Those tayberries look delicious! 💕

Yessss! I'm chilling with my dog out in my patio and having vanilla ice-cream, now with your vlog the evening is perfect 😊😊

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="330">5:30</a> am and Fern. Great start to the day. I found mites yesterday on some plants so spent so much time spray off and treating. 😢 More plant chores today.

Olive in her little jacket . She's so sweet. Love these cozy Sunday vlogs. Thanks Fern 🧡🌿

Tay berry ideas I would make would be a pie, scones, crumble and a vinaigrette. So yummy! Can't wait to see what you make!

I bet you could make freezer jam with your berries❤️💕❤️💕

Yay, Cove!!! Glad you’re trying it

I always make a huge pile of pesto and then put it in ice cube trays in the freezer. When frozen I pop the cubes in a freezer bag to save space and then you can enjoy pesto all winter long in easy portions. The freezer is your best friend when you grow fruit and veg. 🤗 Ooh…and making pickles is also much fun and always comes in handy

OMG the garden look so lovely!

Hey Fern! I so look forward to your vlogs each week. You are so calming and relaxing to watch 😊 just wanted to tell you that you so remind me of your favorite girl!! Has anyone ever told you you look a lot like Taylor Swift?? Cuz you do!! ❤ Thank for the lovely videos!! See ya next week 💕

That’s a beautiful garden. You’ve done good Fern

Always love your videos, so cute!!!

Your outdoor garden is amazing!! 😍 I really hope that we can do this one day. But for now, I'm growing some tomatoes in my indoor greenhouse.

Cozy vibes 💗

Ma'am I have had one of the roughest weeks I've had in a long time and your videos is one of the few things that got me through it without going nuts lol I love your content both here and on your other channel.

Your Vlogs are the best Fern!!! I'd love to hear about what your favourite thrillers are or favourite thriller authors! I love horror/fantasy and some romance but I'm wanting to branch out and find out what kind of Thrillers I might like but I have no idea where to start or which authors are decent but I like similar books to you so It would be fab to have your input. Also you must read Bookshops and Bonedust, I absolutely loved Legends & Lattes and I think the second instalment is just as good if not better and you'll love it!! I cried so hard at the end and wanted to start them over haha such comfort reads. 💛💚

The Cove sodas are really great too! Highly recommend ❤

Loved the walk, raccoon and garden! Happy summer 🌞

New overalls stunning❤I freeze chopped tomatoes,pipers without seeds,to stuff with rice and so on…also I freeze dill and parsley,chopped again. They stay as aromatic as the fresh ones. I prefer to freeze fruits,my own pears,apples,cherry and currant. In Russia winter is from November till April and everything I prepare helps me to make my food yummy. We like to drink tea with our own herbs: mint, marjoram,sage and estragon. I dry them every summer.Ur harvest is amazing ❤enjoy it nevertheless something isn’t going well. We are not farmers anymore and we don’t depend on the food we produced. Waiting for ur feedback on the Middle of the night) I began Lock every door. It is the last from Sager I haven’t read yet. The hydroponic stand is cute,like a piece of art😅sometimes I have insomnia too,it depends on at what time I woke up and if I am tired or not. Very annoying😢knowing this makes me wake up very early otherwise I won’t sleep til 3-4am😊

i've read piranesi because of you and i'm soooo thankful because it has quickly become my favorite book! also that matcha latte looked sooooo yummyyy

Your makeup always looks so flawless, you're so beautiful 😭😭💕 your garden is looking great and I can't wait to see the new sofa. I've eyed that brand before, I am looking for a daybed to put near our window in an office area. In the meantime, my husband bought a beanbag chair 💀

I just picked up The new Riley sager and was lucky to get it in hardback I love your book reviews ❤❤❤

I actually sleep better knowing my 2 dogs are with me and that they'll do anything to protect me. Your dogs will do the same for you. Your gardens 😮 I'm so jealous. Everything looks so yummy. I have to learn to eat before watching your videos 😂😂

Me: I have so much to get done today. Also me: must stop and watch Fern’s vlog!

I’ve always been an avid library user if I didn’t I’ve had too many books around the house. I use Libby and the library and we have kindle unlimited in the states so a lot of books are on there for $12 a month! Most libraries have a hold system like Libby which is nice for newer releases. I love the gardening updates! I got into container gardening this year to see how it goes and it’s been going well. Maybe try your cucumbers in a 5 gallon bucket with a tomato cage? I’ve had luck with that this year. Also I’ve been on the HUNT for Tayberries in NY and it’s next to impossible to find 🥺

Your hair is growing so fast and long i love it

I'm watching while cooking, so there is some background noise, and I was wondering which books have a 'nice guy' on the cover 😂😂

Hi fern! My partner and I were literally just talking the other day about how sad it would be if movie theatres close down for good. We are avid goers but it seems like there are less and less people going!! Support your local theatres people lol Also I think the tayberries would be perfect for a crisp/crumble and muffins as well! I bet your garden plants that are still small will pop off in July with some more sun and heat ☺️ we have had a cooler wet summer so far as well in Seattle but fingers crossed for a sunny July and August 💚

blessed with a whole hour… love it and ty queen

I miss having raspberry bushes, it was always such fun surprise to find them ready and eat them! You got so many, so lucky!!

I’ve seen people put the lettuce grow towers outside and they work just fine! I can’t wait to be able to get one!❤ Thanks for a lovely long video! Perfect for my Monday morning coffee.😊

Perfect vlog as per usual Fern 💚 Just wanted you to know that I recently read Piranesi in 2 days because it was soooooo good. Thank you for the recommendation 😘😘😘

Your make up in the opening is soooo pretty❤❤

So glad I found your vlog channel. 😍 just watched day three of plant chores. Watching this now lol you and your content are good for my nervous system 😌🤍 Also; what’s your sun sign? 😇 or big 3 if you know it.

Succession planting is something my dad used to do with his corn. He’d plant a crop and then two weeks later lent a second crop. We had corn on the cob all summer and the. The corn was also picked and boned with the corn cut off the cob for frozen corn for the winter. It’s hard for me to NOT cut them all off when one breaks. I’m not sure I’ve ever actually not done it.

when i saw the summerween reading prompts i was trying to find books to combine prompts and You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight should cover ever single one! so thank you so much for mentioning that book a while ago!

A good channel if you want inspo on food preservation and things to make with preserved food is Bre Ellis! She does a lot of veggies (but also some meats and eggs sorry 😢). But either way very good information!

You should try using builder gel (needs a UV light to cure)! I've been using it for over a year and have had to trim my nails many times because they get too long 😅. My nails would break sooo easily, so far now I've only broken my nail maybe 3x!

You could make freezer jam😊with the berries

Movie theaters in the US have dwindled way down since Covid and have not returned to their former glory.

you should make jams/jellies with the berries!

Your salad bed !!!

If you can’t use up all of your lettuces, take them to a pond and feed to the ducks!!! SOOOO much better than bread….bread is death for birds

I read Daughter of Mine recently and REALLY enjoyed it!!!

Piranesiiiiii 😩 it is everything

Arugula pesto can freeze, too xx

The berries 🤩🤩🤩

I’d order that highlighter It may be old and fragile. I think k your make up has been on point lately. It must be the new products.

I smiled so big watching you talk about how much joy your garden is bringing you in the kitchen!! It’s so gratifying isn’t it?? I’m really curious to see your thoughts on Middle of the Night. I finished it a couple of days ago. Maybe you’ll let us know in the chat 🙂. And for the berries…a freeze dryer would do you good!! Maybe someone will sponsor you and you can get one discounted? I finally got one but gotta get it set up. Freeze dried berries are awesome!! Aside from that…I have a blueberry crumble I love that would probably work with any berry or you could make jam! They look delicious! So happy for you 💜

Make a pie with the yay berries. Make tayberry syrup

WOW!......What tha Kale!!!🤩

I wish we’d grown potatoes though. They look like fun.

Fern! Where did you get your green gingham overalls you were wearing while setting up the lettuce-grow? They're so cute on you!

I’m drinking a poppi and making cookies.. its chilly here today and I don’t like it. But Im going to cozy up and read Magnolia Parks.. and I am hoping you share all the info on Olive soon 💖

Easy jam with berries and chia seeds can find a recipe online

if you liked piranesi i think you'd rly enjoy house of leaves :)

Daughters of Mine is really good. I just finished it today

Lots of salads! You could probably freeze some veggies too 😅

Omg!!! I absolutely love pesto pasta and yours looked so good. I have never heard of arugula before. The planter spaceship is interesting 🤣. Look forward to seeing growth results!!!! I have never read "Misery" by Stephen King but, I have read "Carrie" and "Salems Lot" and they were scary! Olive Is quite the fashionista in her cute yellow rain coat. Loved the walk scene!!!! The racoon was sooooo cute 🤗. Tayberries look so yummy!!! Great for a Jamie Oliver fruit Cobber!!! ♥

if you like mixed media in books, you might enjoy penance by eliza clark! 🧡

Fern! Wouldn't Book of the Month have the hardcover?? I saw they have it in their books!!!

Your Kale is insane! Looks sooo lush. You could make some tayberry jam with the berries? 🍇

You didn't get to do nails, I purchased Mooncat here in Australia and had some questions about the magnetics?

I love your buzzcut!! It was SO cute on you!!! Why'd you shave it all off and may I repost?

I have never heard of mixed media before.

You could make some ice cream or frozen yogurt with the berries! ❤

Its giving Omega home from SimCity! So cool. I love it.

You can make frozen yogurt ice-cream. Any yogurt, honey and frozen berries.

I’ve read The Final Girl Support Group. It takes several twist and turns. The ending has a little surprise

Thought of you today. BOTM has Middle of the Night. ❤

What’s the name of your L&Y dungas? 😍

Dear Fern, do you have a gardening journal? It´s very good, you can learn from it from year to year, from your mistakes, from your successes, , plan, draw...it´s amazing. I recommend it to you. Much love to Olive XX (btw. I wanted to ask you about your bookmarks, I am collecting inspirational photos the whole year through, then I print them out and the book that I´am reading has to have the bookmark always to the theme or season, or time period :) Love ya all! P.S. Ashwagandha tea (Ayurveda) tea before going to bed! It´s magic!

I read Run on Red in one sitting. Ask For Andrea is another good one from Noelle Ihli.

Try making jam with them

Maybe the herbs will take off with the warmer weather you’ve got coming.

Open that grow lettuce base is like a clown car. Lol 😂

you can make arugola pesto!!

Stephen King's The Shining is one of his best also

Omg fern i hated piranesi i gave it a one star 😂 its amazing how we as humans are so different im also reading misery and not my fave so far i cant get into it i keep trying but i probably will dnf ugh i suck😅

How special to see the raccoon

BOTM has the hardback!

I noticed that you're wearing a lot of new clothes. It's been a while when we went through your clothes, you tried some clothes you hadn't worn in a long time. That would be nice to watch again. 😊

Did you plant some mint? You always need mint for the @rainbowplantlife recipes! ❤

❤❤❤

🥰

Make Jam ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

If I remember correctly, The Final Girls Support Group does take place in summer 😮🤗

I’d order that highlighter It may be old and fragile.

What is the purpose of those “arms”?
