🍹 Fresh garden juice hits different..
One thing I’ve always heard is that you should try to consume around 30 different plants a week to get more variety into your diet like the diversity our ancestors would have eaten.

So far, the easiest way I’ve found to do that is grow a ton of edible plants.. and juice them all! 🌿

Fresh juice from your own garden gives you chlorophyll, minerals, micronutrients, antioxidants, and all kinds of plant compounds straight from something that was alive just minutes before, and it feels different than grocery store juice. 🧃

Store bought bottled juices are mostly fruit, high in sugar, pasteurized, and have been sitting around for who knows how long. Fresh garden juice is more about living nutrition than sweetness.

If you’ve never made green juice before, don’t overthink it..

Start simple:

🥬 2 handfuls of mixed greens
🌿 1 handful of herbs
🍏 1 apple or small fruit for flavor
🍋 lemon if you have it
💧 a little water if blending

It doesn’t have to be perfect.
You don’t have to drink swamp water..
Just start adding more plants! 😁 See less

🧙‍♂️ Meet Edgar. Our microgreens guardian gnome.. named after Edgar Allan Poe, obviously 😄

I love growing microgreens outside in grow pots in early spring before Oklahoma turns into a toaster. There's so many vitamins and minerals packed into these tiny leaves, and they grow really well in these temps right now. 🌱

If you have some good soil in your grow pots, you can just sprinkle some microgreen seed mix right on top of the soil and lightly water them in and they will sprout after 3 days and in a week you will have some usable shoots. 🥗

The great thing about growing them outdoors is you can use what you already have from your container garden, and you don't need to invest in a fancy indoor setup with expensive grow lights, racks and trays. 🪴

They can handle a light frost too — mine do fine around 34°F, just not the lower 20s. ❄️

I just think they look cool as a little early season ground cover and spot for your garden gnome to contemplate.

Edgar approves. 🧙‍♂️✅

🌿 Mullein might be one of the most overlooked medicinal herbs growing in plain sight!

If you’ve got fields, roadsides, or disturbed ground, there’s a good chance it’s growing nearby. 👀

In this video I cover:

🔎 how to identify mullein (fuzzy rosette → tall yellow flower spike)

📜 a little history + old-school uses

🫁 why it’s famous for throat + lung support

🍵 common preparations (tea, tincture, infused oil)

⚠️ important look-alike warning (foxglove is toxic)

If you’re local to Northeastern Oklahoma, this is a great “starter plant” to learn because the 2-year growth pattern makes it easier to recognize than a lot of other wild medicinals:

🌱 Year 1: it stays low to the ground as a big fuzzy, silvery rosette — almost like a soft, velvety cluster of leaves.

🌼 Year 2: it shoots up a tall stalk with yellow flowers, usually standing above the grasses so it’s easy to spot from a distance.

If you’re new to gardening, composting can sound like science… 🧪

But it’s really just:
🍂 Browns + 🥬 Greens +
💧Water + Air = 🌱 Compost

One of the biggest gardening upgrades you can make isn’t a new tool.. It’s better soil!

Compost is how you build it and it’s basically free if you already have:

🍂 leaves
🥗 kitchen scraps
💧 water
💨 a little airflow
⌛ and some time and patience

This Composting Cheat Sheet is my “keep it simple” guide for turning everyday waste into something that actually improves your garden and grow pots.

Let me know what are you composting most right now? 🍂🥬

🧅 Egyptian Walking Onions are one of my all-time favorite plants to grow! They’re cold hardy, easy to maintain, and they do AMAZING in grow pots.

They’re a tough perennial onion that produces giant chive-like shoots (around 2.5 ft tall when fully grown) with a delicious onion/garlicky flavor 😋

🍳 I chop them on my eggs almost every morning.

🥩 They’re awesome on any meat too.

You don’t really grow these for the bulbs (they stay small) — the magic is the greens because they grow back so quickly!

And they’re basically unkillable 💪
❄️ year-round growth
💧 little water
🧑‍🌾 low maintenance

After about a month you can easily split the bulbs and make more plants to spread around the garden (propagation) 🪴➡️🪴🪴

Wild Edibles in March = beginner mode unlocked. 🎮🌱

A lot of these are extremely common and super easier to spot once you know what you’re looking for. March is like nature’s tutorial level, before everything gets tall, wild, and confusing.

🔎 Start with observation (not eating) Walk around your yard, a park, or a gravel road far away from traffic and see what shows up.

🤔 Pick ONE plant from this chart and learn its “3 ID clues” leaf shape, flower, and growth habit.

📲 Take a pic and compare to everything you can find online about it. Keep building your mental plant library and really try to take note of the smallest most minute features of the plant.

🌿 Chickweed (low, mat-forming; tiny white star flowers)

Edible use: mild, tender greens for salads or added at the end of soups.

Medicinal use: often used topically to soothe irritated/itchy skin (poultice/salve).

Note: best harvested young and lush before it gets stringy.

🌼 Dandelion (basal rosette; toothed leaves; yellow flower)

Edible use: young leaves raw or sautéed; flowers edible.

Medicinal use: used as a bitter digestive + mild diuretic; supports liver/bile function.

Note: young leaves = less bitter; older leaves have more bite.

🪷 Henbit / Purple Dead Nettle (square stem; small purple flowers)

Edible use: mild greens in eggs, soups, or sauté mixes.

Medicinal use: gentle spring tonic often used for seasonal support.

Note: purple dead nettle usually has more purple on the top leaves.

🍀 Wood Sorrel (Oxalis) (3 heart-shaped leaflets; sour taste)

Edible use: tart “lemony” accent—best as garnish or small salad addition.

Medicinal use: used as a cooling, thirst-quenching herb and mild digestive refresher.

Note: use small amounts (naturally higher in oxalates).

🥬 Broadleaf Plantain (broad leaves; strong parallel veins)

Edible use: young leaves edible; older leaves usually cooked.

Medicinal use: classic “first-aid” herb for bites, stings, minor cuts, and itching (topical).

Note: very common in lawns and footpaths.

🧅 Wild Onion (Allium) (hollow leaves; onion/garlic smell when crushed)

Edible use: use like green onion; bulbs edible if confidently identified.

Medicinal use: commonly used as food-medicine for immune + respiratory support.

Note: smell test is key—if it doesn’t smell like onion/garlic, don’t use it.

Drop a comment: what’s in your yard right now? 👀

Always 100% identify before eating + harvest away from roads, sprayed lawns, and chemicals. ⚠️

🪷 Purple Dead Nettle is one of those “weeds” you’ve probably seen a thousand times… and never realized it’s edible + medicinal.

As you can see its popping up all over the place right now and its super easy to identify! 🌱

In this video I cover:

🔎 How to identify it (mint family clues + square stem)

🌿 Common look-alikes (like henbit)

🥗 Simple ways to eat it (salads, eggs,
soups, smoothies)

🐝 Why it’s great for bee and pollinators

🍵 A few traditional herbal uses (tea, salves, poultice)

If you’re local to Northeastern Oklahoma, this is a great “starter plant” for building your wild food knowledge because it’s everywhere once you know what you’re looking at.

Confession: I might have a seed packet problem 😅

This is my current seed stash… and yes, it’s slightly ridiculous 🌱

But thats fun part! Planning the whole season before anything even sprouts. Having that vision in your head of your epic garden in a few months and knowing you are gonna make it happen!🪴

Any seed hoarders out there or is it just me?
What are you planting first this spring in NE Oklahoma?

🌱 It’s go time.

If you’ve been waiting to plant… this is your green light. 🟢

Broccoli, cabbage, kale, onions, peas, carrots, potatoes, spinach — they all handle cool soil and light frost just fine. 🥦❄️

March in Northeastern Oklahoma (Zone 7A/7B) is prime time for cold-hardy crops. ⛅

Start small if you have to. You don’t need a perfect garden. You just need to start and get some experience under your belt! 🪴

Hope This Helps!

I still can’t get over these sweet potatoes. 😅

These were grown in 10-gallon grow pots last summer. Just four pots total… and we ended up with some that were almost 7 lbs each. 🍠

They climbed up the chicken coop, tangled with the Malabar spinach, looked like a mess all summer — and still thrived no problem.

Honestly? This is the best sweet potato harvest I’ve ever had.

If you’ve been nervous about trying them in containers… don’t be!

They will do amazing!🪴
