 So we have broccoli, we have spinach, and we have cabbage. Do you like cabbage? No. Do you like broccoli? No. Do you like spinach? No. As you guys know, we love to spend time with our kids. Rye Rye helped me and Aiden plant this garden. Gosh, what's it been about six months ago? Yeah. So we're going to do a little update to the garden because daddy has not been in the garden in a couple of weeks and it sure as heck looks like it, right, Rye? Are you ready to help daddy out? Yes. So while Rye doesn't really want to try cabbage right now or broccoli, I will say having a garden helps them at least think about it. She's tried a cherry tomato this year. Unfortunately, she wouldn't try the jalapeno. Oh, wait. I don't want it in the morning. Oh, your fingers are stuck. Sorry. Do you want to use it? Okay, like this. Put your thumb in like that. Maybe we skip the gloves. Okay. You want to skip the gloves? I won't wear mine either. Oh. Whoa. We can get our hands dirty together. Okay? Show me what's in your bucket. A big one. You have a shovel? Okay. And you have another shovel? It's a spade. You have, what's this? A rake. That's a rake? A rake. Oh, guess what this is for? A rake. Whoa. Look at that. Look how close you can get. A rake. That's a, yep. It's a looker. Okay. So clearly in California, we're lucky to be able to garden close to year around. But, you know, even if you're not in California in one of the colder states, it has, whoa, you can still do a winter garden. You can start a little bit earlier and be able to have food out there. Or, in some cases, you can even build a little kind of pup tent type situation. And you can have, with plastic over the top, and still even have a couple of pots with some fresh vegetables or fresh herbs in it. It just makes the world of difference. Can we just take this? Yeah. We can just rake. You just want to rake? That's all you want to do is rake? I want to. Wow. Look at my tomatoes, Rai Rai. Cool. So right now, I would love your suggestions on some of the things we can do for the winter when it comes to all these tomatoes I have left over. I love to make salsa. I love to make spaghetti sauce and chili in the winter. But I'm not exactly sure how to freeze them. My thought was just to blend them up and stick them into a bag and vacuum seal them and stick them in the freezer. But if you have ideas, suggestions, I am all ears. Right, Rai? Yep. Yep. A lot of people think it's hard to grow a garden. It's really not. First of all, you have to have good soil. So you can go to the store. If you don't have good soil, just go to the store and get some. You know, for a bag, it's a couple of dollars. It's worth it. And you just till that soil. Take a shovel, even like she's doing, and put the soil and mix it in with the ground you already have. That's a huge start. Then, find plants that are easy to grow first. So for example, squash. The key also is water. You've got to make sure you don't overwater and underwater. But it's an easy way to tell is by the leaves. If the leaves are starting to wilt, obviously it needs water. If they start to turn yellow, generally that means they're getting too much water. What's crazy is I remember gardening with my grandma and my dad and my mom. So I remember being out as a young child. So being out there at her age, they used to put the baseball game on the radio, our music on the radio. And so I grew up being out there with them and watching them do it. So as I got older, I wanted to do that. I also tasted the difference. Even if I didn't like the vegetables or didn't want to admit that I liked the vegetables, I tasted the difference in the vegetables. As a child, as I got older and began to enjoy vegetables even more, I understood there's a significant difference when you grow them yourself. I don't see any broccoli yet. You don't? No. Are you having fun looking for the broccoli? Yeah. Just the curiosity this drives to. I mean, watching Araya look through the microscope and try it. No, microscope. What is that called? What's that called? It's called a looker. Yeah, a looker. Look over there. Look at our peppers. You see our peppers? Yeah. This is a big pepper chain. Look. It's a banana pepper. Do you want to try that? No. Yeah. What are some of the ways you guys get your kids to eat vegetables? I want to see any stuff in the pepper. Besides using a, what's it called, a looker? What else do you do? No, I just see if some things are in the pepper. Well, she's getting more curious about the pepper, but what are some of the things you guys do at home to get your kids to eat more vegetables? Hey, daddy. We have a bunch of different tricks to Mariel, I was talking about them. Yes. It's dirty. It's dirty? Yeah, we have to go inside and wash it because it came from the garden. Right, right. What's that? It's a black one and a green one. What's it called? It's a black one and a green one. Yeah, but what's the name of the pepper? I don't know. You just said it. Jalapeno. Do you remember how Aiden says jalapeno? What was that? Jalapeno peppers. Jalapeno peppers. Jalapeno peppers. You do? How do you say it? Jalapeno. Jalapeno, yeah. Now, I use jalapenos mostly for sauces and salsa. Can I freeze these? This is my first time, actually. Daddy, I want to check on this. Okay, you check. It's the first time growing jalapenos in Northern California. I've grown them in Southern California where they can grow year-round. Daddy, this is dirty. What are some of the things I can do? What are some of the recipes you have that are for pepperoncinis? And can I freeze those in wintertime? Clearly, my question is going to continue to be, can I freeze? Parks are great. Going inside, watching TV on the computer, all that stuff's fantastic, but this is free. I mean, where else am I going to get my daughter looking in my ear in the middle of my garden? Miss Yoyer. Oh my gosh, it's so pretty. I want to see your ear. Okay. Thank you, Mariah. There's nothing in your ear. There's nothing in my ear. There's nothing inside of your ear at all, right? Yeah. Yeah, thanks. Right away, it's our time. Tell everybody to subscribe to what? Towsley Lights.
