Reprioritizing Life Lately | What We’re Growing & Homemade Recipes

Welcome back to our Southern California garden! In today’s homemaking and garden vlog, I'm sharing a summer garden update from our cottage garden here in SoCal. From harvesting fresh vegetables and checking on seedlings to baking homemade bread and enjoying the slower pace of summer, this is a glimpse into what life has been looking like lately as a homemaker. Join us as we continue turning our backyard into a productive family garden while learning what grows best in the Southern California climate. Gardening in Zone 9 can be challenging, but we’re excited to share our successes, lessons learned, seasonal harvests, and the progress we’re making one project at a time.
