The garden plans always change, as other projects and weather affect the planting schedule. Despite some challenges, the garden is mostly on track. Crops are thriving, with some adjustments still needed. The anticipation of a bountiful harvest and sharing the garden’s produce with others is high.

Edibles and Visions Updates
I assure you this post is about gardening and not drugs and hallucinating, despite the name. The edibles I refer to are the plants that will provide us with delicious food. The visions are our beautiful flowers that will be a vision to behold once planted. Lets start with what we have outside in the…
Garden Planning
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. Well, I completely…
Getting Set
Well that time of year is upon us. The living room looks like a jungle, the yard looks chaotic and despite it all, the sun is shining (most of the time) and spring is upon us. We are hoping that this is the last year of chaos in the yard. To be fair, it gets…
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

The temperature averages have been on par with 2022, though we saw a lot more sunny days in 2022, which always helps with garden items becomming ready to harvest. We are still…
Messy & Bright – Christmas Jam Two Ways
I know! It is way to early to be chatting Christmas, but these are some delicious jams that you need to make while the berries are fresh, and then give away for Christmas. So I am going to sprinkle your feed with a little (EARLY) holiday cheer. First the presents…I mean recipes, then the chit…
August Comparisons
Well this year has been interesting learning what works in the new beds and where we are going to change things next year. This month has made some of those changes abundantly clear in regard to where we have crowded too much and other areas that are wasted space. We are jotting down notes and…
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…
