Ya win some and ya lose some when it comes to gardening. The good thing is it will always provide you with some reward, plus a good learning experience.
I’m day-dreaming of bringing goats back to our farmstead, but the family keeps shooting me down.
The Girls’ coop satisfies their housing requirement and allows me to exert minimal—yet efficient—effort.
Florence ‘The Mindful Pruner’ taught me more than how to trim my trees; she provided powerful lessons in the making of a healthy tree.
Passing along my brooder to another chicken-keeping friend has me feeling a little sentimental.
My quince and pear trees have been affected by a disease, and hopefully a good pruning will take care of it.
Warning, this post is not for “serious” chicken keepers. Everyone else wants to have a little fun may proceed.
My new beekeeping buddy set up a hive near my garden so I can reap all the amazing pollination benefits without having to get too close.
Mix up your favorite selection of garden herbs into a tea. I do it and trust me, it tastes great!
