Failures make us stronger. They are lessons in life and we need to understand them. They never stop coming. Keep on moving forward. I appreciate your honesty and the video. Thank you.
I agree completely! I always come out a better gardener after a loss or “fail.”
Gardening taught me to embrace failure and start again… and that mindset has trickled into many areas of my life… and I am so grateful for that
Oh this is good! Gardening/farming lessons can be applied to all areas of life!
Thank you for this for this video! Sorry for your loss but I appreciate your seeing the silver lining and showing the hard side of this thing we call life! Keeping you in prayer for your Ranunculus to come back! Hang in there and enjoy the day, best way to live! 🤗❤️
Oh thank you for the prayers! I’ve been praying for them, too!

You are not alone I hate this happened happened us but thankful you're sharing your story means I'm not alone . 🙏 thank you for always being transparent and showing the good and the bad .
I’m so glad it was encouraging to you!
I’m living through your garden.💚 Right now I’m in 19 degrees. This is a warmer day for Alaska. In December, January, and February it’s usually in the single digits to-15. I’ve been here most of my life but the cold has gotten to be more drastic over the years so we are going to be moving somewhere I can grow year round in the next month or two.
I have to stay open and pray in these times. I have just expected that plans change. Lol
Thank you so much for taking the time to make videos and do CZcams to teach. I know it would be so much easier to move on and not do the video. But it’s a life lesson for us all. 💚 I just want you to know your much appreciated. 😇 God bless you and your family.
Thank you for the kind words, Marilyn! I don’t think I would survive in Alaska 🤣
Never give up!
So glad that you share the ups and downs it’s so important …💜🌻💜
Can’t wait to see that baby bump… 😆
Oh the bump is there for sure 😬
Thanks for sharing! Losses like that are tough but I try to see it all as learning experience.
Definitely a learning experience
Thank you for being so vulnerable! I think it takes a lot of courage to talk about what doesn’t always go well on the homestead. I have faith you will still get flowers this spring!
Thank you! We are hoping for lots of spring flowers!
We have no FAILURES in the garden just lessons learned. ;)
100% agree!
Thankyou for sharing🤗🇨🇦
Thank you for watching :)
With comes success comes failure first. I always strive to do better and if it don't work move on to the next thing .you know you tried and you did your best. Your going to do Great
Great advice! Thank you for the encouragement :)
I hope the ranunculus continue to recover! It's been really warm in my area too. Usually we get a few feet of snow, but we've only had a few inches that have quickly melted away so far.
It’s been a wild Winter season! They are still growing. Just anxiously waiting to see if they’ll have enough time to flower before it gets too hot.
Failures = Growth 🙂
Absolutely!!!
Tank you for video my friend
Thanks for watching!
I say this knowing you know this...no such things as failure or loses only learning opportunities to make you a better Farmer. I personally like a little humbling failure to keep me grounded. As you said you have plenty of time to plant more starts and going forward you now understand your climate and what a tunnel can and cannot support weather wise.
Absolutely! I’ve had many “humbling” experiences when it comes to gardening/farming 😉 but I always learn so much more from those experiences
Tobasco Pepper sauce! We sell it at the market!
We ended up making a ton and it was good…and HOTT!!
So sorry, thank you for being transparent and honest. I’m interested in your high tunnel, where did you get it? Hugs and love from Texas!
Yep, not fun to talk about the flops but we all have them! Sean from Mindful Farmer Arkansas built it for me. He custom builds them.
Hi Lauren I really enjoy your videos. I love that you keep it honest and show when things don't go as planned. I am a fairly new gardener so it's nice to know I am not the only one with failures lol!!! What kind of compost do you use? Do you have it delivered in bulk? I have a fairly large garden and I am finding buying by the bag is not ideal. I am just not sure what I am looking for if I buy it in bulk. Do you have any suggestions?
Hey, Sondra! We buy our compost in bulk. Sometimes we will have it delivered by the dump truck load and sometimes we’ll rent a dump trailer and haul it ourselves. Just depends on what is most feasible for us at the time. Compost is tricky-it’s hard to find a decent source around here. My best advice is to actually take a look at the compost your buying and make sure it doesn’t have a lot of trash in it. The first year we bought in bulk, we sent a dump truck to pick it up and when it was delivered it was littered with plastic, glass, fabric pieces, etc. Ask what the compost is made of. Some places will sell compost with biosolids. Also want to make sure it’s not too hot when you buy it.
Thank you for this encouragement. I think the frost you’re talking about took out all of my brassicas too 😣 but like you said you learn so much from these setbacks. Thanks for sharing! 💚🌱
It happens to us all! It’s just not one of the things we like to advertise and talk about. Hoping people can be encouraged by it.
When you fail, fail forward! They're gonna be the strongest plants you have, just wait and see!
Such good perspective! I’m so anxious to see how they turn out!
Consider lost crops cover crops building soil for future plantings and feeding organisms in the soil. There’s always a silver lining!
Such a good way to look at it!
