Just a brief tour

06/09/2024

Holy moly, i had forgotten how much i love king crab and truffled strip!

06/05/2024

Dealing with the chip mulch/bed prep before i can get the planting done but:
With bone sauce and below without

New permaculture hillside going in. Gonna be gorgeous And edible!

If I planted primrose as a ground cover for you, know that when it starts to look all powdery n leggy, it only needs cut way back for a new flush of blooms. You're not gonna hurt it and other things can get a chance to shine while it regrows. Now is for bee balm, garden phlox, and shrub cherry grow.

How could i Not LOVE this rose? I had to move one because it wasn't happy but look! Bloomies. This is At Last.

05/25/2024

First job of the day required the bee suit for hornet & wasp defense. I'm sting free and waiting them out to plant for safety. On to the next job.

Ornamental production garden. This client has had some health issues and eats only raw kale so let's make that happen and try to give her some other things she'll eat/use! 42 kale plants, 6 Giant mustard, 2 bunching onions, oregano, sage, blueberries, and elderberry all tucked in with the ornamentals and medicinals

Last year's new ornamental/agricultural garden going strong. Just a bit of grasses trying to break back in to the bed. She's ready to have her annual veggies installed!

05/20/2024

She said it hasn't bloomed in 20 years. It always grows over the house and tries to get in the front door. I told Tammy, the secret is to scare the crap outta them. In this case, we trained what remained. I think it worked?

Angel's Paws is filling in nicely, wouldn't ya say? Food forest memorial garden.

05/17/2024

Well since the weather has put a hitch in my giddyup, I believe a nap is in order. Then to make pistachio cream pie and planting potatoes at the homestead. Might even get to the next block of corn today? Hope springs eternal.

Maybe the rain will quit and i can finish up this garden today (not). This is what i mean when i say ornamental agriculture. Can you tell it's actually harvestable crops?

Just found my first new ground hornet hole. Looks like i'm needing to get ready for battle again!

05/08/2024

The fruits of early mornin' labor. Salted sourdough with crispy bacon hash, strawbabies, and fresh mushroom/aparagus/garlic/chive blossom frittata

Humpday brunch?

05/08/2024

And these little beauties are has-caps (honey berries). If you grow honeysuckle without wanting to, you can grow these. They're related!

05/08/2024

Been nibblin' on strawberries and has-caps here n there. The season is just about to pop. Almost none of my plants are ripe but I stilled pulled a quart from the field of yum!

05/07/2024

When you plant strawberries as ground cover but can't get to the bed fast enough! Found the crowns yesterday. Might not be enough to block the chokeweed that was rampant in here just yet. Before and after

05/06/2024

Yay! She gave me babies! I'm rewarded every day for the work I've put into this habitat. I rehomed him from the space I'm putting in corn to the new hugelkultur beds in the orchard. Look how tiny he is next to the strawberry plant?!

05/05/2024

This morning's gloriousness. Time in the garden is time well spent.

05/04/2024

The bluebird "trail" is fully occupied this year. More on biodynamic gardening later. For now, I'll just say deploying your wildlife against the bugs is a very happy place to cohabitate!

07/29/2023

Finally gettin the never to pour my cobblestone patio area off the back of the covered patio. Glo stones and rose quartz embedded but not so much to be tacky!

07/26/2023

Somewhere back here there was once a pond... not sure i wanna talk about it.

07/26/2023

This is gonna take a WHILE. Poison ivy everywhere so I gotta get that out n dead before anyone can really even think about helping. Rearranging and planting as I go to recover this house. Thankfully, the pool is only 1/2 mile away!

07/23/2023

Announcing a new resident to the raspberry patch! Talula the Turtle has moved in!!!

If you ever thought i was kidding when i said i maintain my invasive/aggressive plants by running them over with a lawnmower periodically, may i present:

Lamb's Ears. Just after a cut down and 3 weeks later.
