Welcome!

Anyone can garden-from herbs in the windowsill to pots on the patio to small plots for veggies in your yard.

I actually have more challenges than most-which is why I have such easy solutions! enjoy-and grow more food!

Rain-and acorns

the acorns have been falling so heavily it sounds like bombs going off while we are sleeping. Good thing the goats like them; just keeping the deck and the areas where we walk clear has been a challenge.I am talking buckets of acorns. the goats just go to town.

our first decent rain in about six weeks. i am hoping most of the plants made it-we lost cucumbers, roses, maybe azaleas...but i decided to be hopeful. Turnips and spinach and peas planted; replant garlic after we pull sweet potatoes. most of the herbs kind of like the dry; need to get a covered area to dig them up and lett hem have sun for the winter.

I have been composting and adding to beds... the asparagus needs several more inches to make it's foot deep bed...have enough leaves down now to treat the parsnips to a layer.

so life goes on-3 feet of snow or total drought, things keep changing  :).
