As usual, I started planning where all the garden plants were going to be planted. This planning always starts in the cold weather when snow still blankets the ground and I am dreaming of the garden and all the delicious fruits and vegetables that I will have at my fingertips soon enough.

Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, whichever way you celebrate, we hope that you have had a good time spent with family and friends. I have been overly neglectful of the blog in the last few months. It always seems that as soon as the garden and yard projects wind down, the shop hobbies pick right…
October Comparisons
How did our October stack up compared to our 2022 October growth? Good in some areas and lacking in others. No surprise there.

September Comparisons

Apocalypse Now – Late Summer Musings
Well we are into late summer now. The plants are producing at their maximum capacities, with an abundance of fruit and vegetables being picked and processed. Another month and the plants will start to fade and cease providing the delicious offerings it has given us all summer. A few plants will continue to slowly grow…
July Comparisons
I am a little late on this post, as well as a little delayed on writing anything lately. It has been a busy month, which has unfortunately left little time for writing. Luckily, I should have a bit more time to share what we have been up to and some future planning. Looking at the…
