  Hey everybody, welcome to the good morning from the Chicken
• 0:04
  Coop podcast. My name is Kim Johnson and I am
• 0:07
  a mastermindset coach, creative strategist, and also happened to
• 0:10
  be a farmer. This is my chicken coop and I
• 0:12
  come out here every day to record a podcast to teach
• 0:16
  distinctions, possibilities, new ways of thinking, and just bring
• 0:20
  some joy into the world. So welcome to the coop and let's
• 0:23
  start your day off in a fantastic way.
• 0:27
  Hey everybody, good evening from my dining room, the boys went to
• 0:31
  see a very scary movie to which that means, oh, I don't have to
• 0:35
  go. And I'm sitting here at the
• 0:38
  dining room table surrounded by seed packets and looking at
• 0:43
  everything that I purchased and going oh boy, what the hell was
• 0:47
  I thinking when I went through all of this?
• 0:49
  Now, as you can hear, I've got shaking some of them around.
• 0:54
  I've got, you name it, vegetables, flowers, herbs.
• 0:58
  I've even got some something new called Schwanz's black peanuts,
• 1:04
  which I'm super excited to plant.
• 1:07
  I, I love growing peanuts, but I haven't had a lot of success
• 1:11
  doing it. So these are supposed to do
• 1:12
  really well in this type of environment.
• 1:16
  So we're going to see how that does huckleberries, you know,
• 1:20
  all the way over to giant zinnias again, Agastash, which I
• 1:26
  cannot wait to grow Dahlia from seeds, something called Black
• 1:30
  Forest Ruby. I mean, you can't believe how
• 1:35
  many packets I have. How did this happen?
• 1:38
  It happens because I don't order them all at once.
• 1:41
  And then as I sit and get my orders sent to me, they start to
• 1:47
  accumulate. So I might guess that I probably
• 1:51
  have about, I'm going to say 75 to 85 packets and that could be
• 1:57
  low. And yes, there are a lot of
• 2:00
  seeds in each packet, but remember, some of these will be
• 2:03
  sequentially planted. So for instance, lettuce I will
• 2:08
  plant multiple times just to make sure I can keep getting it
• 2:12
  because lettuce is one of those things that, you know, burns out
• 2:15
  pretty quickly. And hopefully we'll be able to
• 2:18
  get some rounds of it. And there are other things that
• 2:21
  I'll sequentially plant, maybe potentially tomatoes, I don't
• 2:26
  know, we'll see. But a lot of this his
• 2:30
  experimentation for me, especially since I'm going to be
• 2:33
  doing a garden of complete herbs this year as well.
• 2:38
  Still figuring out the best way and where I'm going to put that.
• 2:41
  But everything is being started between now and next Friday in
• 2:45
  the garage. I'm a little weak, probably a
• 2:47
  week and a half behind starting things because I'm trying a new
• 2:51
  soil that is supposed to help us grow them even, you know,
• 2:55
  healthier and quicker. That came from a recipe that
• 2:58
  Floret flowers put out. Now, the reason I'm telling you
• 3:01
  all of this is because this is one of those things, if you
• 3:04
  listen every day, you know, that I was feeling behind and with
• 3:08
  the boys going to the movies, I was like, OK, this really gives
• 3:11
  me time to sit, sort through things, get organized, which
• 3:14
  makes me feel really good in doing that.
• 3:16
  And it's, it's going to give me the, the ability just to kind of
• 3:22
  get my head back in the right space.
• 3:25
  But immediately, as soon as I'm with the packets, I get excited.
• 3:28
  And I don't necessarily feel as behind as I did more than as
• 3:34
  excited as I am. So the lesson in all of this for
• 3:38
  me is always one big one, which is, hey, you know what, as these
• 3:43
  things happen because they always happen, we always have
• 3:46
  these little things that show up and we always have these little
• 3:49
  things that make us feel excited or behind or overwhelmed,
• 3:53
  whatever it might be. Take it with a grain of salt
• 3:56
  because it's not going to stay too long because you're not
• 3:58
  you'll be moving on to the next thing.
• 4:00
  So I am going to sit on my Saturday evening and I'm going
• 4:04
  to sort through these and I am going to be excited about it.
• 4:08
  Now, obviously, we lose an hour of sleep.
• 4:10
  I'll be dealing with that in the morning just like everybody else
• 4:14
  would. Unless you live in a wonderful
• 4:15
  state that doesn't make you do that, but my state does make us
• 4:18
  do that. So I'm going to be dealing with
• 4:21
  that. I'll be getting up and I will
• 4:23
  definitely be planting seeds tomorrow and feeling very
• 4:29
  excited about it. Very hopeful.
• 4:31
  Because anytime you put a seed into the ground, you start to
• 4:35
  feel hope. So even if you have never done
• 4:38
  it before, I highly recommend go out and buy a pack of sunflowers
• 4:42
  and just get a little pot and plant a sunflower and see what
• 4:45
  happens. Because just the feeling of
• 4:47
  doing that is so fantastic. And, and if you really want
• 4:51
  something that could do a lot for you, try doing microgreens
• 4:55
  because they sell these little trays that are all set up and
• 4:57
  you can just start a tray of microgreens, throw them in your
• 5:00
  protein shake and believe it or not, they are super foods.
• 5:04
  They are super powerful for our bodies.
• 5:06
  So it's worth trying it. It's it's definitely worth
• 5:10
  something that you can, you can do for yourself.
• 5:14
  So I highly, highly, highly recommend it and I highly
• 5:17
  recommend that you give it a shot and see because anytime you
• 5:21
  are able to just put those seeds in your world changes.
• 5:26
  So I'm going to go continue sorting and I hope you guys have
• 5:28
  a blessed day today and I will see you tomorrow.
• 5:31
  Bye.
