    Independence days

    Do you ever have one of those weeks that simply escapes you?  Yeah…I’ve had one of those weeks.  Not really sure where the time went…homework…regular work…life in general…yada yada yada.  Luckily though, at the end of the week, now that I add it all up, I can remember that I…

    Independence Days

    This has been another busy week for me and all I want to do is play in the dirt!  Instead of, you know, working and getting close to finishing up my classes (research papers suck, by the way).  I have to give myself “garden breaks” from time to time so…

    Happy Friday, everyone!!! Man, has this week felt crazy to anyone else?  Not sure what’s going on, but it’s been a little batty around here.  Well, thank goodness for Fridays and warm weather…I could really use some meditative time in the yard…  🙂 Plant something (under grow lights)…I’m kind of…

    Pallet Gardening – Planning

    I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about what to actually plant in our new Pallet Beds since, before last Friday, they hadn’t fully existed in our imaginations, let alone in our yard 😉   Until then we thought we’d just put a fence around the new bee space…this is…
