Giving Strawberries Shade: Recycled Materials

Giving Strawberries Shade: Recycled Materials

Summer heat is coming fast! This Strawberry bed was the ideal location in my garden because it gets the most afternoon/evening sun of all my garden beds! Well… when I planted it I didn’t know any better. Someday I’ll move my Strawberries somewhere else but for now they are right where they are.

How is the Garden Growing? – June 2014

This has been a great year so far. We’ve been super busy keeping up with all the farm projects. In the garden we missed out on some items.

more hard freezes than we’ve had for a very long time.

It’s been so crazy I’m not sure when to put my seedlings in the garden. The last frost date for this year is something like March 20th. Gosh, That feels like it’ll be too late! Continue reading What’s Growing On in the Greenhouse? Starting the 2014 Gardening Season

My First Permaculture Hügelkultur Garden Bed: What Am I Doing Here?

Listen…… Did you hear that? That was me taking a deep breath. I’m very humbled by this year. Several projects didn’t work out to be all roses for me. I need to slow down, relax and reflect.

My First Permaculture Hügelkultur Garden Bed is one of those things that hasn’t worked out like I thought it would. At first it Continue reading My First Permaculture Hügelkultur Garden Bed: What Am I Doing Here?
