Ate my first purple string bean off the vine today. I was shocked it was green on the inside. I don't know what I was expecting but it taste like a regular string bean😂. No, it's not GMO. ⠀ #TheLolitaPerry #LolasWorld #GardeningWithLola #Blackgirlsgarden #blackgirlswhogarden https://www.instagram.com/p/CC0taXmDpXL/?igshid=7gtprwk9gyhr

On Faith Fridays we Vision Cast! ⠀ I'm going to say🗣 it until I see👀 it. My heart is full of ALL the things God has spoken and ALL the things I envision for the Kingdom, my family, the community. ⠀ I see land in my future. With all the bees🐝 and butterflies🦋 that will help pollinate my garden. Hand pollination is too much🙄. ⠀ I know you can't tell everyone all of your dreams. But you can declare the end from the beginning. What's 1 thing you declaring? ⠀ #TheLolitaPerry #LolasWorld #CraftingWithLola #GardeningWithLola #CanningWithLola #FutureHomesteader #Therapy #CraftLife #CustomCrafts #Peace #dreams #Vision #Faith #DIYProjects #DIY #GrowYourOwn #Gardening #DMVGardens #DCGarden #CityGarden #ContainerGarden #UrbanGarden #UrbanHomestead #BlackGirsRock #IGGarden #Blackgirlsgarden #backyardgarden #blackgirlswhogarden #GardenersOfInstagram ⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/CB5lEdRB_Jy/?igshid=ju7mms4zpidw

#MCM - This is my Beloved and he has always believed in me and supported ME🤪. He sat me down over the weekend to write the vision for our next move. I WILL have a homestead one day. I WILL have some chickens 🐓🐤🥚, ducks 🦆🥚, goats 🐐🥛, bees 🐝🍯, and a mega garden���🥕🥦��🌶. You all WILL come and be a part of it! ⠀ When we were done, I said we're going to need over $2 million to pull this off (sarah laughed) but being the man of faith he is...he said "God got it". Welp let me hush and let him faith on! The big picture is always scary... ⠀ Today, I believe God. One day I will say, "It only happened because I believed God". ⠀ #thelolitaperry #GrowYourOwn #Gardening #DMVGardens #DCGarden #CityGarden #ContainerGarden #UrbanGarden #UrbanHomestead #BlackGirsRock #IGGarden #Blackgirlsgarden #backyardgarden #blackgirlswhogarden #GardenersOfInstagram #GardenLife https://www.instagram.com/p/B9gwQ_1nX3-/?igshid=1mu426d2x5pfa

Organized my seed collection today✅ ⠀ Notice anything missing? Every gardener experiences a problem child plant. Mine is 🍅. Every year I say I'm not growing them and I try again🤷🏾‍♀️. ⠀ I've broken my own rule of gardening 101: grow the foods you like to eat. I don't even like tomatoes🤦🏾‍♀️ unless it's in my pasta. #NoTomatoGrow2021 #TheLolitaPerry #LolasWorld #GardeningWithLola #CanningWithLola #FutureHomesteader #GrowYourOwn #Gardening #DMVGardens #DCGarden #CityGarden #ContainerGarden #UrbanGarden #UrbanHomestead #Blackgirlsgarden #backyardgarden #blackgirlswhogarden (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDyo4DphbG6/?igshid=dwbs20lvb083

Onion Dehydration Time ⠀ I had a bag of onions that I needed to use quickly. Here's an easy way to make your own onion powder. I sliced up 4 trays worth and put them in the dehydrator @ 140 degree. Yes, skin and all! Once they have dried, I'll pulverize them down to a powder. Walllllahh😘😋. ⠀ #TheLolitaPerry #LolasWorld #CraftingWithLola #GardeningWithLola #SelfSufficientLife #FutureHomesteader #GrowYourOwn #Gardening #DMVGardens #DCGarden #CityGarden #ContainerGarden #UrbanGarden #UrbanHomestead #BlackGirsRock #IGGarden #Blackgirlsgarden #backyardgarden #blackgirlswhogarden #GardenersOfInstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CDG1SVBBVU-/?igshid=118oyxh1vc179

Some garden bed clean up this morning. Pulled all the corn, squash and beans. Removed the corn stalks and dead leaves. We'll be phasing in the fall garden in August.

We Have Bundles🌿🌿🌿 ⠀ Not hair bundles but herb bundles. Washed and hung my bundles out to sun dry. It's too hot to run the dehydrator indoors. I'll let the sun work. ⠀ We have orange mint, chocolate mint, sweet mint, stevia and pineapple sage. ⠀ #TheLolitaPerry #GardeningWithLola #GrowYourOwn #HerbGarden https://www.instagram.com/p/CClyU6pBb2w/?igshid=1tuegki34buk2

Let's Flex Our Faith ⠀ I'm going to say🗣 it until I see👀 it. My heart is full of ALL the things God has spoken and ALL the things I envision for the Kingdom, my family, the community. ⠀ I see chickens, hens and roosters on my future homestead. I'm even going to build the cutest little chicken coop. ⠀ I know you can't tell everyone all of your dreams. But you can declare the end from the beginning.
