What have you been doing to stay sane during quara

What have you been doing to stay sane during quarantine? Me: Gardening. (Sorta) Swipe 👉🏽 for the before shots
⠀
I’ve been inspired by my friends and all of the plant accounts on IG and decided it was time to turn our mulch into something more pretty. I’m what you call a lazy gardener, so I went about things in a really basic way. All we did was go to a local nursery, ask them what plants do well in our area, and picked some colors that we thought looked good together. I also drew out a grid and loosely noted where I wanted the plants to go.⠀
⠀
Because we are novices, we had someone help us with the actual planting and setting up a basic drip irrigation system, which sounds complicated but ours is literally just attached to the hose on the porch (nothing underground that's connected to plumbing and no timer). After consistently watering 3x per/week for 4 months, we have a FULL-ON nectarine tree in our front yard, ya’ll 🍑. I legit thought this would take us years (I literally know nothing about the speed at which things grow). Nonetheless, here I am picking nectarines to go with my lunch. No fertilizer, no plant food, no fuss. (Again, I'm not sure if I’m going about it the “right” way, but I have a nectarine tree and the fruit is goooood, so....)⠀

For those who are into gardening (or want to get into it), check out our podcast episode from the archives titled “Getting Started with Gardening and Composting with Lori Caldwell.” We also have a great episode titled “Reclaiming Land as a Black Farmer with Leah Penniman.” ⠀
⠀
I should note that while our front yard is small, and honestly not very sexy, we still have a house and a front yard, which OBVIOUSLY increases your gardening options. Having said that, you can absolutely have a successful garden in a small apartment space and/or windowsill (we talk about that in the gardening episode). My mom has a THRIVING garden on her apartment porch/patio and Wendy has a beautiful one on her windowsill.⠀

For all of the green thumbs out there, what is the easiest plant/tree that you have ever grown?⠀

Just made the softest, flakiest Kenyan Chapati tha

Just made the softest, flakiest Kenyan Chapati thanks to Chapati master @kianomoju. What I didn’t know when embarking on this journey was that I was signing up for an intense arm workout (Totally worth it though!) Chapati is an unleavened flatbread made with flour, water, oil and salt. It’s typically enjoyed with stews and beans, so I paired these with a batch Ethiopian style lentils! (berbere anyone?) I layered these with scallions and garlic!
