Now. To be real. The greenhouse was always a win because I love plants. And the garden was always a win because I love to garden and reap the sweet treats of rewards that come with it. Whether that be a bouquet, or a squash, or a cucumber, or a giant butterfly, or a bluebird,…

Being open once a week has been so invigorating. And manageable! The garden isn’t overgrown. Things have gotten planted. Lots of things! It’s looking to be a wonderful gardening year. Got some cattle panel (hog panel?) Hoopy hoops up. I planted the hardy kiwi and the hood mother stallard beans there. I did one more…

Well. My lower back decided to full on tell me I couldn’t walk for a few days. I guess it worked out because it was so hot out, I probably really really shouldn’t have transplanted anything. I probably could’ve planted my beans or my corn. That would’ve been good. But I didn’t yet and…that’s okay!…

So we have been open since the first of May. With two days of Rendezvous before that. So eight “business days” And now. After being open 8 (eight!) business days. This is my petunia stock. I actually moved them to the other greenhouse. Now. That’s not to say I don’t have plants! I am just…

Patrick is getting pretty fast at building these greenhouses and tables! Inside of greenhouse #4. I did manage to get to the greenhouse and water everything, and tag some tomatoes. But other than that I didn’t really get my hands in the dirt today. Yesterday I chopped 5 clamshells of shiitake mushrooms into freeze dry…

I remember when someone told me these little oxalis are weeds, and I got all sad, I love them. I realized a while back that weeds are really only “weeds” if they are growing where you don’t want them. Technically I’m going to have an overabundance of tomato volunteers because I had a lot of…

This part of the garden I was determined to get put to bed before winter, and today was pretty warm and not raining! So I took advantage. The sad part is the biggest mess is from the spoon tomatoes that I didn’t harvest, and from ground cherry plants. SO MANY. I actually went back through…

Okay I know, you are going to say, “Plan!” Or “Look through seed catalogs!” Both of which are lovely, and I find myself doing from time to time. But winter is longgg. And dark and dreary and cold and at times a little depressing. I need things to keep me occupied and make me feel…
