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. This summer has been chaotic to say the least, between the heat, humidity and garden pests. The trees are shedding their leaves, the air is cool and crisp, the bugs are returning to …

Caterpillars & Changes In The Garden

A lot has happened in the garden - some good, some bad of course. Still lots of tasks to do, especially to prepare for Fall and Winter. I'm excited though! I'm so ready for this heat to be over with, and I think the plants are too. It's actually been in the 80's this week, …

Summer Heat, Struggles & Fall Plans

Struggles In The Garden Unfortunately, a few of weeks ago we fell very ill (we're thinking it was covid). We were practically bed ridden for a week, and I still couldn't get up and move around good until about 10 days or so. It was suppose to have rained off and on during the days …

Garden Treasures & Updates

Yellow Zucchini + Prolific Yellow Straightneck Squash Exciting Harvests The other day I picked our first ever, homegrown squash and zucchini! After losing two plants from the storm before last, I was afraid we wouldn't get to enjoy these delicious fruits. This past week I've collected one squash and 2 zucchinis. Another tiny treasure we …

Welcoming Our First Flock

Another Goal Accomplished It may seem a little over dramatic to call it "A dream come true", but I've been wanting chickens or ducks for YEARS. I was raised up around chickens ever since I was little, and absolutely loved them. Although, I do have memories of getting chased by a rooster or two.. And …

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. At the end of winter I had so many big plans for the garden, composting, raising poultry and rabbits. Unfortunately, my health took a turn as soon as I …

Gloomy Days & Learning

Lets start off by saying, we hope everyone had wonderful holidays! Can't believe we're coming up on a brand new year already. Fingers crossed it won't be as chaotic as the last two! 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 …
