what’s growing in september
🍠🫜🥬🥦🌱🥕🍎🍇🌽🥔🧄

eating seasonally, and locally, has always been important to me. it always tastes the best, and it’s beneficial for literally everyone.

now that I’ve started gardening, I’ve realized that growing my own vegetables isn’t as easy as you’d think. it takes a lot of patience, care, attention, and even after all of that, it can still fail. farmers don’t get enough credit 👨‍🌾

swipe through for what’s growing in september + learn what you can still plant now.. even if you’re a beginner! some fall produce grows incredibly fast, without much effort 🌿 try it, you might surprise yourself! 👩🏼‍🌾🥬

comment below…I want to know what you’re planting 🫶🏼🪏🪴👩🏼‍🌾🫜

APPLES
Peak season: late summer through fall
    •    different varieties ripen at different times
    •    a apple should come off the tree fairly easily
    •    eat them fresh, bake them, make my fav apple pie overnight oats 🤞🏻 or add them to salads
    •    apple season is officially here & im so excited🍎🙌🏼

SWEET CORN
    •    peak season: July–September
    •    best eaten as soon as possible after picking
    •    look for full ears with fresh looking husks
    •    grill it, boil it, add it to salads or eat it straight off the cob… I highly recommend trying my Cobb Salad with BBQ Chickpeas featured in @glowjars.co 🌽

PEARS
    •    late summer into fall depending on the variety
    •    many pears are best picked before they’re completely ripe
    •    they’re good fresh, baked, poached or, my personal fav: added to salads 🥗🍐

BROCCOLI
    •    a cool weather veg
    •    roast it, steam it, stir-fry it… you really can’t go wrong 🥦

GRAPES
    •    usually ready late summer into early fall
    •    they should be sweet and fully colored when picked
    •    underrated fruit to simply snack on 🍇🫶🏼

CABBAGE
    •    another crop that loves cooler weather (watch out for cabbage worms!)
    •    peak season: fall 🥬
    •    harvest when the head feels firm
    •    can handle some frost.. yay ❄️
    •    great for slaws, soups, roasting + kimchi
    •    can be re-grown! 😌

ZUCCHINI
    •    peak summer crop, but often continues

SUMMER SPROUT SANDWICH SERIES: episode four.

…wait I’m so sad my summer sprout sandwich series is already coming close to the end! 🙁☀️

this one was so yummy, and literally comes together in minutes! it has lots of protein from the plant-based chickn, the sprouts 🌱 and the pita.

I love using @josephspitabread for my bread, wraps; and pita, etc. they’re always fortified with nutrients and protein, and super low carb! Idk how they do it because it tastes amazing.

Also, how much protein do you think is in broccoli sprouts, would you guess that broccoli sprouts even have any protein?!?

I was taught how to buy, cook, and consume food, but no one ever taught us how to grow it.

Food doesn’t begin at the grocery store. It begins in the soil. 🌱

Maybe it’s time we got a little more curious about where our food comes from, how much of it we could grow ourselves, and maybe why we were never taught much about the things that really help us thrive in the first place.

I’m no cabbage expert, I’m just learning as I go, and loving every moment of it 😊 nature always heals me.

tofu salad is a weekly staple in my kitchen 🥬 I prep a big batch and keep it in the fridge so I always have an easy, high protein meal ready to go. wrap it, add it to a salad, or eat it straight from the jar 🧡

for vegan mayo I always use @fabalishfoods Mayo! it’s simply the best. organic, delicious and made with only 6 real food ingredients 🫶🏼🌿

looking back, it really felt like I couldn’t breathe. I was always holding my breath, clenching my jaw, walking on eggshells…everyday.

a#as gym girly for over a decade, a girl who actually posted wellness content for a living, I gained over 40 lbs. ((at 5’0, this felt like a significant gain)) while living in survival mode. I had never gotten this size in my life.

it didn’t matter what I did, what I ate… my body was constantly tensed up… bracing for impact. I started wearing big baggy clothes because for one, wearing my normal clothing would cause a lot of fights, so I learned to dress to avoid conflict, and for two, baggy clothes became all that fit me anyway.

it’s been 7 months free of this person’s manipulation and trauma. I feel so much lighter physically since I’ve lost the weight I gained, but more so I feel lighter Mentally, emotionally and spiritually…. I think being away from that energy was all I needed.

my nervous system is still recovering and my heart & soul are still healing. but I’m free and I’m only looking ahead. 🩷

if you’ve resonated with this post, I’m here for you, and I need you to know that the other side is SO SO SO much better. you’re strong. you’re capable. you’re worthy. you’re lovable. and, you’re STILL IN THERE.

sending all my love 🫶🏼
