i've gone too far lol 🌱 Vlog 723 

From clubbing videos to gardening! Loving this journey for you! I wish so badly that I could get into gardening, but it feels sooooooo overwhelming.

I'm so jealous of New Zealand gardeners! The weather is SO perfect for veggie gardens. I'm in Australia and the dry heat is always a battle in the summer. When I visited NZ this year I saw some of the most beautiful and prolific gardens I've ever seen. It makes me want to move there purely so I can have a beautiful home garden 😆😆 I'm living vicariously through you and this content!!

As someone who has been here for a while, it's so awesome to see you finding this hobby and enjoying the home that you've worked so hard to build!

You have not gone too far! I think you're doing amazing, I'm so envious, we're freezing in Wisconsin and I want to be in my garden😢 Honestly your plants are gorgeous, from the seedlings to the grown ups, you look to me like a true green thumb!👍💚

You're doing great, especially for a first timer! You totally remind me of me when i first started out. I started out with pots too and then went to raised garden beds which the veggies do grow better in, especially the tomatoes. However I still grow certain things in pots, mostly because I am renting, but its also a space saver when you are wanting to grow so many different things. Gardening is such a rewarding hobbie and the excitement of seeing your hard work coming to life. Though its definitely a learn as you go kind of process and each year I find I learn something new still. But it's well worth it! Enjoy the fruits of your labour!

You are too kind to us uploading all these vids! Absolutely love watching you, one of my favorite OG youtubers ❤❤❤ xo

Hiiii! Perfect timing, I’m in bed after washing my face. This is bliss.

looool i love how enthusiastic you are over your gardening! i wish i could get myself into it! good on you 😂

It would be cool if you did a little time lapse on the seedlings to see them grow

I've been super into gardening after becoming a parent as well. It's so fun 🌱

Have you looked into vertical veggie gardens…where they use like pvc pipes. They look pretty amazing and don’t overly take up much space.

I love that you are into gardening now! Its been my favourite hobby for years. You should definitely try growing ginger , I promise it not hard you just need pacience 😊 it takes like 9 months to be ready

I grow all my herbs in pots. They are soooo easy to grow. I can't believe how expensive they are in supermarkets

Perfect timing. Just came on for my nightly wind down of Shan vlogs!

Been here since 2010 (agessss!) and I have just loved seeing the changes in your life since then & the beautiful house you & Hamish worked so hard for 🥹🥰

Yay the beautiful Shannon uploaded a vlog. 🥰 Yay it’s long. I love watching your videos. You’re so therapeutic and porter is so cute. You and Hamish are amazing parents to him. You’re doing so well. I don’t know what happened to my other comment so have to comment again xx

Love this new journey for you Shan! ❤️ your obsession is very entertaining 😂

When we had a garden we grew tomatoes and eggplants and sage and mint.

I love how the gardening bug has bitten you! Your excitement is wonderful. I love gardening.

Im the same way with my hydroponics! I have been able to have a few small salads from it so far! It grows so fast. Happy gardening 👩‍🌾

A carrot tip, plant them directly in the ground. Don't start them indoors. When they start growing, you will thin them out. Meaning pull every other one so they can get to full size! In kentucky, i dont harvest them until fall because letting them get a few days, week of cold makes them sweeter!

My 14 months old started his tantrums a couple of months ago. Everything ticked him off in the first couple of day, I had no idea what was happening and thought he was teething 😂 we practice gentle parenting + distraction, now he only has a small tantrum once every couple of days and calms down quickly. Some kids tantrums will get significantly worse before getting better, and some never really tantrums. I have all my fingers and toes crossed for the later 😂😂 good luck and looking forward to your updates!

I know nothing about gardening shan but I love watching how happy it makes you 😊❤

You are so sweet and brighten the world maybe you are a light being they tend to struggle vitamin b etc

the forgetting names of people thing is a common trait of ADHD, (i have it and get where you're coming from) unless i've made a good connection on first meeting a person for the first time (over whatever topic) i will continue to forget their name.

Oh the meltdowns over the smallest things are the worst! Gave my daughter the wrong colour cup a few times (when she was younger) and oh my gosh never again. Every time she wanted a drink after that I would ask which cup. Also them wanting to do things that we know isn't safe like, holding a sharp knife or crossing the road when a car is coming. They just don't understand that we are saying no because it's harmful for them. As for the strawberry flowers losing petals, yup totally normal it means it's growing into the berry :)

I grew ginger in a pot. I literally just got a piece from the super market and kept it in the sun inside my house coz it loves heat. ( I'm in the south island so ...ya know...) and it sprouted like palm type shoots. it looks so pretty. and when u want some to harvest you literally just pull what you need out like potatoes ... and wah-lah 😄👍🏼

I'm so happy for your gardening passion. Great vlog

Potatoes grow amazing in pots you can get special bags for easy harvesting etc .

Just put some smaller raised garden beds on top of the rocks

I love how excited you are with your plants and seedlings! I am soooo the same! LOL

Absolutely loving your gardening content! 34:11

This vlog is so wholesome 🫶

Garden looks great!! :) so much fun. Enjoy!

You need a professional home cleaner and organizer. The home structure is so nice but the home is so sloppy.

I honestly love your vlogs ❤ I hope you feel better x

Sunflowers can grow anywhere.

I don't retain iron so I'm very anemic I have to take a very high dose of iron supplements everyday with a tall glass of orange juice. It can be a real pain because it dose feel like I have had the life sucked out of me.

Always love your long vlogs ❤

Those boundaries that Porter is trying to push are totally normal...The boundaries that you lay down will only benefit him in the real world, because people in the real world will not accommodate him in the way family might ❤ Mum of one boy 20 years old here but an aunt to five boys who I'm very close to ❤

Cool you should do a time lapse on the seeds over like a week 😃

Petals are supposed to fall off! After all, the flowers transform into strawberries.

Store seeds in a dry, cool place =)

Ok, I think i want to grow silverbeet now 😂

Yep it temporally the having melt downs stops at about 17 yrs lol 😂 his discovering choices is normal and so are the meltdowns be consistent with the no otherwise if you give in once the next time he dose the same thing and you say no he will tantrum it’s not easy but setting boundaries is really good for toddlers ❤

My son is 17 months and I feel like we are in the same stage as you rn, some days are harder then others 😅

Hello what camera do you use for vlogging and taking photos ?:)

Sunflowers will do fine in the wind they will grow anywhere.

Yes i love that blood test lady too!

Did I miss the part as to what happened to your forehead??? 😢

❤❤❤

Shan, have you ever considered you have ADHD?

The bouncing on a chair is a sign to buy a big tramp 😜

Hey Shan! I have a turning 16 months old and he STILL gives me the headache with the tantrums. Sometimes I feel like he’s playing with his life, he wants to run towards running cars,running around on the couch (almost breaking a neck) etc. Hang in there momma,we’re all in this together!😂☺️

I have a 1 1/2 year old too and my god he is haaaard work, happy as 90% of the time but will crack it in 0.5seconds if he doesn’t get what he wants, reacts so quick then thinks about it and realises he’s actually algood 🫢😂 talk about draining
