    Harvest Monday

    Happy Monday everyone! Slowly but surely we’re pulling out our over-wintered veggies, sowing seeds and transplanting a few tomatoes here and there.  It’s not really time yet, but all the forecasts say our temps will stay above freezing past our average last frost date, so while I’m taking a bit…

    Happy Friday, everyone! Plant something: The weather has been absolutely amazing and while I’d like to believe that we’re well into the warm months, I have to remind myself that it really is still possible for us to get a frost or even a snow storm.  Given this, I’m still…

    Spring Blossoms

    If our fruit trees don’t suffer a hard freeze for the next month and a half, this just might be our first year of real  fruit harvests (you know, real as in more than 8 or 10 apples)!  Oh, my fingers are crossed and I am so hopeful, but with…

    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…
