We celebrated a birthday at our house this week and I made a cake out of watermelon using kiwi 🥝 And strawberries for decoration. It was so simple and easy and something that I could actually eat. But I noticed something really interesting when eating a slice of all these three things together. The watermelon was from Costco and shipped from who knows how far away (especially this time of year) and the Kiwi came from Whole Foods and again, shipped from so far away. But the strawberries were grown in the Gardyn, and wow! The taste comparison was really something! These are probably the most flavorful Strawberries I have ever eaten! And the flavors of the Kiwi and the watermelon were muted in comparison to the burst of flavor coming from the strawberries! It reminded me just how much nutrition our produce loses when it has to travel to get to us. My daughter and I sat there and had a conversation about it. She told me that there’s no way she can ever go back to eating lettuce or spinach from the store. She loves lettuce and all green things but now that we have The ability to grow our own greens year round, we just can’t go back to eating food that has lost so much nutrients by being shipped from so far away. And when you consider that most produce loses 30% of its nutrients just three days after being picked it makes sense that we should notice this dramatic change in taste! Just something I wanted to share because we were overcome by this realization today.

I often feel that many folks are held back because they’re afraid of judgment. Judgment that they should have already been eating healthy. Judgment that they should’ve already been exercising. Judgment that they weren’t doing a lot of things right for a very long time. And I hope that that message never comes across with me. Nobody is perfect 100% of the time. No matter what they say. We’re all human and we all stumble and have low places in our life. Sometimes those low places go on for a very long time. That’s life on planet earth unfortunately. So please know that with every post I make and every story I tell, my intention is to share encouragement of things that have helped me in my journey in hopes that they might also help you and yours. Your journey will be different from everyone else’s just like mine is. And sometimes things that work for some people don’t work for other people. But don’t be discouraged. Keep pushing forward! Keep loving yourself! And keep showing up for yourself! The future you, will thank you. 💕 ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #behealthywithme #embraceyourjourney #gardynreview #healthyhome #healthyliving #judgementfree #judgementfreezone #keepgoing #keepmovingforward #keeppushingthrough #lifeishard #lifeishardsometimes #livinglifeonmyownterms #makelifebetter #makelifebetterathome #makelifebettertogether #makinglifeeasier #motivationalquotes #quotesdaily #showupeveryday #showupforyou #showupforyourself #youtubereviewer #youtubereviews #changeyourlifechangeyourmindset #findyourway #getbetterforyou #youareworthit #liveyourbestlifetoday #selfcareisnotselfish (at Charlotte, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CV0ghEnJXTy/?utm_medium=tumblr

I get this question constantly. Yes! You can absolutely transplant from the Gardyn into a planter or traditional garden. In fact, sometimes I like to use the Gardyn just to get basil or tomatoes up and going, to be able to have a nice healthy starter plant to pop outside during the summer months.

After these questions are answered and I have use the product for sometime I then go looking for a way to bring a special discount to my viewers and followers. you shouldn’t hear about an amazing product that you really want to try unless I can also get you a special discount and that is what I will always strive to do. -Essi #productreview #productreviewrealtalk💛 #specialdiscounts #gardynreview #saunareview #saunareviews #betterlife #betterlifereviews #essiflynn #improveyourlife #makelifeeasier #robotsofthefuture #techofthefuture (at Charlotte, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQZDglSHlhx/?utm_medium=tumblr

The cleaning out of my Gardyn tank from start to finish. This happens once a month or twice a month if you’re growing strawberries. Some folks have mentioned to me that it can be difficult to pour out the water in the 6 gallon tank. Some thing that has helped me has been getting a metal bowl and taking that old water and pouring it out in my house plants. My Areca palms love it! It also makes it a lot easier to pour the water out rather than lifting it all at one time. The yellow stuff you see me mixing in hot water is the plant food. Whenever I clean the tank out and put fresh water in I always add 3 tsp in hot water and then stir it before I add it to my cold or room temperature water, in the tank. The last steps of this are quite easy, although it can seem daunting your first time to lift your entire top of your Gardyn, but after filling the tank up and positioning it where I want it, I just put the Gardyn (pipes, plants and all) back on the tank and secure the locks, plug it in and turn it on. I always love answering your questions and I’m happy to help in anyway that I can. If you haven’t seen my videos on YouTube, I cover quite a bit of the inns and outs of my experience with my two Gardyns and my latest video covers strawberries!

Changing water on both Gardyns today. Both strawberries and all the greens and herbs. In two weeks I will be changing water on just the strawberry Gardyn And then two weeks later I will be changing water on both again. It keeps it simple and it gives me a schedule that I can depend on while taking care of my plants.😊 #essiflynn #gardyntech #gardyncleaning #gardynwaterchange #gardyntech #gardynreview #gardynyoutubereview #gardyngirl #gardyner #gardyntribe #hydroponics #hydroponicsystem #hydroponicsforbeginners #easyhydroponics #hydroponicstrawberries #hydroponiclettuce #hydroponicpeppers (at Charlotte, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLkJEs1hneM/?igshid=ccvx6389x9eo
