We usually harvest our barley on fall equinox, but it’s going to rain all day tomorrow so we did it one day early. It’s only enough for a couple loaves of bread, but the kids enjoy grinding it in the mill and baking the bread 🌱🍞

The Monarch migration might just be my favorite time of year.
They’re particularly fond of zinnias, so I make sure to plant extras every year just for them. 🌱🦋

This family favorite is a cheerful perennial that gets bigger and better every year. Once established it will bloom continuously late spring to fall frost. Traditionally used for yellow dye, it’s easy to start from seed and not overly picky about soil. And yes, you can use it for tea too! 🌱🫖

FYI Etsy temporarily closed my shop because my drivers license expired and I haven’t received my new one in the mail yet to submit for verification.
If you clicked any of my links and it says “shop on vacation” don’t worry…..

Rose Mallow (Hibiscus militaris) is a wildflower native to Iowa and the eastern half of the U.S.
I started this from seed last fall, and let it stratify naturally over the winter.
I’m hoping to offer seed for this deer resistant beauty next year 🤞

Four years ago today the farm got leveled by the 2020 derecho. Our 140 year old house lost a few windows and part of the roof but otherwise withstood the storm. Our town was without power for 8 days and internet for a month.
We’ve had triple vortex tornadoes, baseball size hailstorms, floods, and another derecho since then but this one stands out because there was no warning. Weather alerts didn’t indicate the severity until mere moments before it hit.
Things like this make you stop and appreciate the power of nature and how fragile life is.

There are few things more satisfying than fixing yourself a salad for lunch from your garden.

Blue Sea Holly is an excellent solution for roadside flower beds and rain gardens because of its salt and drought tolerance. The dried flowers also provide winter interest and finches enjoy the seed!
