Why You NEED to Trim Your Onion Seedlings:
Are your onion seedlings looking long and floppy? Time for a trim.
Here’s why:
Stronger Roots – Cutting back the tops redirects energy to root development, making your onions more resilient.
Thicker Stems – Shorter seedlings grow sturdier, meaning they won’t flop over as easily.
Better Growth – Trimming prevents overcrowding and encourages healthy, upright plants.
How to Trim: Use clean scissors and snip them down to about three to four inches. Bonus: Save the trimmings for salads or soups.
Try it and watch your onions thrive.

You know it is an abnormally warm winter when things are already sprouting. There are baby lettuce sprouts all over the place. I love seeing them but wow it is not the time to say the least. They are at least 2 or 3 months early compared to usual. They aren't phased by the cold nights and are just happy to truck along I guess!

2024 at Wandering Bee Farm was a great one! I'm excited to begin 2025 garden seeds in about two weeks. Looking forward to growing things I love and introducing new varieties.
On the business side of things, thank you so much to everyone who helped my little backyard business grow more than I could have ever expected this year. I can't wait to have even more fun with it and do even more. Big big plans coming soon!

seed starting season is always a little strange where I live because it usually comes right as winter is beginning. it's always a magical thing to have the world resting and tiny green things inside the greenhouse.

Why do I love and reccomend calendula so much?
Because it is currently November 26th and I still have blossoms! This plant is always one of the very first to bloom in the spring usually around March or April and it will continue to go as long as possible. We've had multiple hard frosts and it doesn't mind one bit. It also thrived during our two months of nearly every day being 100+ degrees. Their beautiful flowers will always remind me of the sun.
It also is a powerhouse when it comes to health so it is one of my favorites to infuse into salves, oils, bath soaks, and herbal teas. Calendula is prized for its skin-healing, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, making it effective for soothing wounds, eczema, and minor burns. It supports digestive health, aids in regulating menstrual cycles, and boosts immunity with its antioxidant compounds.
You really can't go wrong with calendula!
