3 Things You Need to Grow an Awesome Vegetable Garden

Nothing is more exciting than picking home-grown vegetables from your very own garden when the harvest season arrives. Of course, before you can pick your veggies, you need to grow them first. The good news is that, if you're growing a vegetable garden from scratch, getting started isn't as hard as it looks. Here are three essential things you need to get your vegetable garden started so you can happily reap what you sow.

A Small Patch of Yard

While 75% of homeowners will set aside money for a home improvement project, it's still a good idea to start off with a small patch of your yard before you invest a lot of time, money, and energy into a massive garden. It's typically recommended to start off with a spot that's 6x6 feet. 

Starting off small isn't just a good way to save money but also helps you determine whether you've chosen the right spot for your garden. For instance, the spot you choose might seem ideal with lots of sun, but sometimes too much direct sunlight can cook your plants. See how your plants grow in the spot where you plant them and if it all goes according to plan, spread out your garden by another few feet.

Quality Gardening Tools

You don't need to spend an arm and a leg on gardening equipment to get your vegetable garden started, but you do want to have a few high-quality tools at your disposal to make life easier. The main tools you want include a garden knife, garden fork, hand and garden spades, shovel, garden shears, a leaf rake, and secateurs.

Do some research online to find the right gardening equipment for you. Approximately 90% of users haven't made up their minds about a specific brand before they begin an online search, and many users rely on reviews before making a purchase. Amazon, which has a peak traffic volume of 2.3 Tbps, is a common source for gardening equipment, but you can also shop locally at a garden center or buy quality garden equipment used on eBay, Craigslist, or Facebook Marketplace.

Vegetables You Love

When you're just starting out growing a vegetable garden, it can be tempting to reach for seed packets for vegetables that are aesthetically pleasing or easy to grow. Additionally, exploring options like mushroom grow kits can add variety and excitement to your gardening experience. But it's best to grow vegetables that you actually love to eat. The reason for this is because you'll be more likely to be invested in caring for vegetables that you love. It's also because, when the time comes to reap the benefits of owning a vegetable garden, you might be surprised by the sheer number of veggies your garden gives you. If you're stuck eating veggies you don't care for in an effort not to let them go to waste, you won't be too happy.

Growing a vegetable garden can be an amazing experience and it definitely gives you a sense of pride and accomplishment when everything goes well. If you're interested in starting a garden of your own this summer, be sure to follow the tips above to start off on the right foot.

Common Mistakes Made When Rehabbing a House Yourself

One of the most popular themes in real estate reality television series is house flipping. Flipping a house is the act of buying a rundown property and renovating it to the look of a new home. It is also commonly referred to as rehabbing. The depiction on TV shows rehabbing as a fulfilling and lucrative career.

Rightfully so, the power to change a home from disastrous to liveable and beautiful is a skill that deserves a payday. You are adding value and equity to an existing asset. If you have wondered how can I sell my house for the most profit possible, completing high-quality renovations can help you do that. Whether you do all of the work yourself, or hire a portion out, it should add value to your property.

Behind the scenes, house renovations are one of the most costly activities that go into managing and maintaining a property. Large renovations can cost well over 6 figures. As such, it is best to go through the process of house rehabbing thoroughly. Here are some classic mistakes made when rehabbing a house.

Lack of Due Diligence

The process that leads you towards ultimately investing in a property and rehabbing it is the most vital activity. Do it well, and you will erase any potential risk and ensure you look towards profits. Once you have a property insight, do the tedious work of knowing and understanding the property. Don't just settle on the current price or potential value given by the seller. They, too, have to make a profit.

Only you can actively determine the value of the property to your standards. Therefore, diligently inspect the property's qualities and give your value and purchase price. Some of the factors to consider as you evaluate its value include:

• The value you can add to the home

• What type of market will the property attract

• Renovation time and cost

• Property's location

Underestimating Project Costs

Rehabbing appears dreamy and romantic on television, though those aspects require you to strengthen your grip on reality. Especially when it comes to knowing your limits and how much you can do. Put into consideration your time commitments, skills, finances available, and experience. You don't want to pick a property that will strain your ability to manage it.

Due diligence helps you estimate the right cost bracket that flipping the house will cost you. First, do the background check of material needed and any options they might have. Do this, and you'll probably have the correct price amount and accumulate costs more accurately. Then, as you make the budget, consider more funds to factor in any cost rises and errors.

Overspending on the Wrong Areas

Renovations cater to our expectations of a property. In the spirit of staying grounded, it's important to gauge our desires and compliment them with our goals. A common rehabbing mistake is over-rehabbing in efforts to make the property more attractive. Always make your rehab plans in expectation of costs incurred to expected profit on the sale. To stay on course, compare properties around yours and look at new home trends within your budget.

Over-spending could occur when you also wrongly spend on areas that won't increase your home's value. Remember, the main point of rehabbing a home is to increase and maximize the value of the house. The more the value on areas that buyers seek value, the higher the profits you stand to make. Here are some key spaces around your house that carry the most value:

• Kitchens

• Bathrooms

• Landscaping

• Gardens

• Doors

• Flooring

• Bedroom count

• Garages and Basements

The three mistakes are commonly experienced by many people who try to renovate a home. It is recommended that you seek professional help in areas that you need when flipping houses. However, due diligence will help you go through a more accurate process alone.

Our Newest Obsession The Dom Pérignon Inspired Tasting Menu at Morgenstern's Ice Cream

Starting today award-winning architect and gourmand Stephanie Goto and Nicholas Morgenstern, founder and owner of NYC’s Morgenstern’s Ice Cream are debuting their collaborative elevated ice cream-infused omakase menu called Elevated Expansion, inspired by the latest release from Dom Pérignon champagne.

The omakase menu will be available once a week, by reservation only, at the Morgenstern’s Sundae Bar on 88 Houston via RESY. The à la carte pairings will be available each Tuesday from 12 PM-10 PM by reservation.

Celebrating the release of Dom Pérignon Vintage 2003 Plénitude 2 and National Ice Cream Day on July 18, the limited-run tasting menu is a storytelling journey, presented in three acts and titled Elevated Expansion. Presented through Goto’s distinctly Japanese lens, the progression highlights the unexpected and shared linearities between champagne and ice cream. Centered around energy, space and time the menu curates and reimagines ingredients from Stephanie’s heritage, elevating traditional dishes to their second Plénitude.

The seven-course menu pairing concept was imagined by award-winning architect, gourmand and Dom Pérignon collector Goto through her longtime friendship with chef-turned-ice-cream innovator Morgenstern, and her friendship and love of the legendary champagne house Dom Pérignon. Goto collaborated with Morgenstern to incorporate their favorite and nostalgic ingredients – tamago, soy sauce, sushi rice, and dashi – to narrate a one of a kind journey connecting America and France, East and West, high and low in an revelatory way.

“Creating this experience utilized a parallel process to how I approach architecture and the sensorial. My vision is inspired by materials, textures, forms and presenting them in a familiar yet transformed way. The story is focused on something quintessentially American - ice cream - meeting something quintessentially French - champagne – and knitted together through my lens of Japan,” said Goto.

The menu will also feature à la carte offerings of a caviar trompe l’oeil ice cream cone featuring Russian River Imperial Caviar paired with a glass Dom Pérignon Vintage 2010, a delightful ‘toro burger’ paired with a glass of Dom Pérignon Rosé Vintage 2006, and a prismatic matcha and red bean sundae cube paired with Dom Pérignon Plénitude 2 Vintage 2003.

Also Wesley Edens, chairman of private equity firm Fortress Investment Group/co-owner of the Milwaukee Bucks purchased a $20M penthouse there in 2020.

From Paris to NY, Dine At The Famed Buddha-Bar Restaurant

Annabella Pardo

Traveling to Paris this Summer is now as exciting as dining in the new Buddha-Bar Restaurant New York, an outpost of the original in Paris. Opened July 13, the Pan-Asian cuisine restaurant sits in the heart of New York’s TriBeCa neighborhood featuring a modern take on the classic Buddha-Bar menu, breathtaking interior design and famed Buddha-Bar music and energy.

The restaurant sits within a historic landmarked building in a vaulted two-story space with meticulous, opulent modern design perfectly aligned with the rustic beams and bricks of the original structure. The custom, more than 16-foot, glass-hewn Buddha sculpture is a striking centerpiece and brand hallmark, and in this instance has been created with custom projections and digital art – creating an artistic focal point and adding to the unique Buddha-Bar ambience and vibe. The restaurant’s interiors feature fully custom décor and furnishings commissioned from Milan-based Laura Meroni, as well as custom-designed large-scale metal pendant lights that hang in the main dining room. 

“New York is the capital of the world, and New York deserves to have a restaurant like this.
