Kurt has been kicking around the idea of a little hobby shop for a few years. He’s a bit of a collector of things, so having a little shop that he can find new homes for his things and enjoy the selling and trading of items has been something of a future plan. Well a…

Nature’s Calling
Not that kind of “Nature’s calling”….I know you thought this would be about that, but it is not. It’s about the fact that Nature is calling us to get our butts in gear! The birds are swarming the trees, chirping merrily. There are more sounds of kids playing and outdoor activity. The dog is regularly…
Grow Little Seedlings
I love this time of year, when the seeds are first starting in the greenhouse and every morning I get to look and see if any more have sprouted up. It is like a little surprise. Sometimes a big surprise when something has not only sprouted but is standing quite tall right away. I then…
And So It Begins 2023 Version
I am quite behind on sharing on the blog, but to be completely honest, there hasn’t been much to share. It has been a very busy beginning of the year with extra-curricular work, as well as regular work, and having a puppy. I actually backed away from some of the extra-curricular projects because I was…
Plant Planning 2023
I am sitting in my living room, looking at a beautiful sunrise and the fresh skiff of snow on the ground, thinking about my garden. We are still months away, but now is the time to start planning. Our first seeds will be planted next weekend, and earlier start than we have ever head, but…

End of Season Yard Updates 2022
As we are nearing the end of the year, it is time to look back at what we accomplished…and didn’t accomplish in the yard. Let’s start with what we accomplished. The biggest project that we accomplished this year was all the new walls on the unfinished side of the yard. This will open up so…
Shifting Gears
Well, I have really been slacking on writing, but have been oh-so-busy with so many other things. As you know, we now have a puppy again, which definitely causes a major delay in getting anything done. The first few weeks was just focussing on her and getting her settled into a routine at the house….
Berkley
It has been a whirl-wind of a month around our house, resulting in not a lot getting done, including entries in the blog! A month ago, we had to say goodbye to our beautiful Ellie, which kept us from accomplishing much in that first week other than going to work and then coming home and…
Tipping The Scales – 2022
With the 2022 growing season at an end, it is time to do an overall comparison to last year. There were some plants we didn’t grow this year and some new ones we added so it is good to do a full overview. We find we go back to previous years stats to determine a…
