Grow-Along Week 12

Hello my Loves!

Wow! We made it to week 12!! What an amazing accomplishment for us all! So many plants have grown and flowered and are moving into a state of fruitful abundance. We are so proud of you for your choice to work towards a better, more sustainable lifestyle along with us. Whether you grow your own food on the scale we do, or you just dabble in flower gardens and houseplants, we want you to know that what you are doing is important and wonderful. Give yourself a pat on the back... for real... go ahead... do it! We'll wait... (no really, do it!). There! :) Doesn't that feel good? It is so easy to be so overwhelmed by the beauty and wonder of new life in the spring and early summer that we overlook the critical role we play in the magic of nurturing new life of all kinds. Don't forget to stop and smell the flowers, watch the butterflies, and consider how important you actually are to the great web of life that we are all a part of.

Grow Along Week 11

Howdy everyone!

Things just keep on growing here! We hope the weather where you are has turned favorable and that your gardens are plumping up as nicely as ours are! Our weather has been so nice that we've been able to start on a few other homestead projects in addition to the ever important planting and nurturing of crops. With no further ado, check out what we've got going on this week!

Grow-Along Week 10

Howdy folks!

So, it has been a rainy week here which means lots of things are sprouting up and putting all kinds of energy into plumping up and producing. I've been enjoying a little guilty pleasure in the rain since not much can be done outdoors and I've been spending a good bit of time with some good books (seriously good books... hit me up if you want the titles). I did manage to snap some good pics yesterday between rainstorms, so this post might be a little light on pics compared to the last few since rain and cameras don't mix well. ;)

Grow-Along Week 9

Howdy friends!

My goodness! We're at week 9 already!! Can you believe it? We sure can't. So much has been going on that we got a day behind schedule this week and completely forgot to update you all yesterday! We are so sorry about that, but we are delighted to have ongoing great news to share with you all about the growth and progress of our little slice of life on the Micro-Farm. This week brings a lot of new growth on plants as well as some new faces and new projects on the farm.

Grow-Along Week 8

Happy Beltane / May Day everyone!

May is always a turning point for all of our preparations. In just another week, our little tomatoes and peppers will be moving to the raised beds outside and many of our other veggie and fruit varieties will be planted from seed. We are so thrilled to be able to plant all of our gardens with plants we grew from seeds ourselves this year! What are your biggest accomplishments in planning or planting so far?
