A great reminder from @our_iridescent_earth 🙏 What used to be a given (growing our own food, spending time around animals and outside) to just live everyday life is no longer a given in our modern lifestyles. So sometimes we need a little reminder about some essential nature nutrients 😉 Being in nature and being in touch with our nature-self is essential for wellbeing 💜🥰 What nature activity are you doing today? . . . . #nature #naturekids #selfcare #gardening #gardeningforkids #ecotherapy #parentingquotes #yoga #healing #kidsofmelbourne #kidshealth #mumsofinstagram #mumsofmelbourne #mumsofsydney #montessori #walforfinspired #steinereducation #wellness https://www.instagram.com/p/CRNgb7OHWQw/?utm_medium=tumblr

This purple pepper is fun! It looks gorgeous. It could have been a tad bit more ripe. I guess we should let them get darker? Maybe cooking would bring out flavor? (The sweet banana peppers are much more flavorful cooked.) These did have a sweetness, but not nearly as sweet as a red or yellow bell pepper. #PurplePepper #PurpleBellPepper #BlackBellPepper #BellPepper #Gardening #VegetableGardening #GardeningForKids https://www.instagram.com/p/CRkZ9yBsmfq/?utm_medium=tumblr

Molly & Ian showed @bcarroll_13 how to plant the garden while I cut the grass so we could all done before the possible impending rain. I did pause to make a quick video with Ian on some planting tips. Molly was uninterested in making a video today. We got tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, crookneck squash, broccoli, & parsley in this year. We did plant some carrots & potatoes earlier... and there is enough mint to last from now until the end of time. #gardening #vegetablegardening #gardeningforkids https://www.instagram.com/p/CdjpYvaMjSp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The driveway #pumpkins are thriving. Guess Diogee dug a hole there because she knew it would be a good spot? 🤷‍♂️ #volunteersquash #oopsmycompostmadeapumpkinpatch #VegetableGardening #gardeningForKids https://www.instagram.com/p/CR92gqKrUj5/?utm_medium=tumblr

Whatever this is... it's being thoroughly enjoyed by the deer. My guess is Butternut Squash or some kind if cucumber? The leaves are much smaller than all the other cucuerbits in the yard. Maybe even a decorative gourd we got some fall? Who knows? #mysterysquash #deerbuffet #gardening #vegetablegardening #gardeningforkids #squash #cucumber #pumpkin #gourd https://www.instagram.com/p/CR9151XL2cs/?utm_medium=tumblr

Finally cooked up some #SwissChard that Molly planted in school! It was good! Just cooked it in a bit of oil with some bacon pieces and garlic. Hopefully Molly's teacher would be proud. Both kids liked it, Ian wanted more! He said the for the final round I could cook s'mores and he would think of a good sabotage. It reminded me of a wilted spinach salad my grandma used to make... it was just missing that hint of vinegar. #Gardening #VegetableGardening #GardeningForKids https://www.instagram.com/p/CRxN2oYMZ6b/?utm_medium=tumblr
