Growing Indoors During Winter

I don't know about you, but I miss being in the garden. It was a much needed break when October hit, mainly because of how chaotic the summer was. Nevertheless, I'm rejuvenated now and ready to sink my hands back into the earth once more! Until then, I figured - why not give indoor gardening …

A Muddy Mess, What’s Growing & Our Very First Eggs

It has been non-stop raining for the past couple of weeks now. Our poor chickens' run became a muddy mess, but that hasn't stopped them from foraging around as usual. Thinking about draping another tarp or two over the run, to help a little more in the future. Their run has dried now, now that …

Mushroom Beds & Cleaning Out Greenstalks

Fall Is Upon Us! We're so thrilled autumn is almost officially here! Our temperatures have calmed down tremendously, which we're happy about.

First Leafy Harvest

Salad Time! I finally harvested some of our Black Seeded Simpson Leaf Lettuce yesterday. It's been a little overdue, but better late than never. It's been a crazy, busy Spring to say the least! We have Red Romaine Lettuce growing as well, but I'm trying to let them get slightly bigger so we can make …

Progress in the Garden

This year hasn't really gone as planned, BUT it's going a lot better than the last. I'm trying to remember to strive for progress, not perfection.

Speaking of which - has anyone else been experiencing the strangest weather lately? It's been progressing over the years but I do …

Fall Garden Tour

Hello October! It's our favorite month of the year! We've had thunderstorms this week, so it's been quite gloomy though. We were able to tidy up some things in the garden yesterday, during the few hours of overcast. I've been practicing my knitting skills in the mean time, waiting for the weather to clear up. …

It’s Fall Y’all

Happy Belated Fall Equinox Well, it's been a long week, but Fall's officially here! Some how the temp went from being in the 80-90's, to dropping straight down to 66 degrees yesterday and today. Tonight's even chillier, which has raised our spirits! (Sorry, we just fancy the cold over hot weather lol) The atmosphere of …

Baker Creek Seed Haul

The Best Mail To Get! First off, I apologize for not posting in over a week! We rely on our mobile hotspot for internet, and the signal's been funky lately. I'll be posting a garden update soon too, but figured I'd start off by showing you some beauties we got from Baker Creek Seeds! This …

Hello September!

Update After The Storms Well, it's officially the first day of September, and surprisingly it feels nice outside (for now). Compared to the scorching, humid, muggy days of summer we have here in Tennessee. It looks like the storms are over with for now, although the wind is still a little crazy at times. Luckily …
