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?

Grow-Along Week 7

Howdy friends!

The grow-splosion is still going on strong at the Micro-Farm! Green things are popping up everywhere! It is tough to keep up with it all in pictures, but we are trying our best to keep you updated on all the excitement. Spring brings such amazing and busy energy and we just love it!

We have had some friends who are new to gardening ask us for help identifying the seedlings that are popping up in their gardens as weeds or plants that they intentionally planted. So, the biggest focus of today's Grow-Along update will be helping you all to identify your little plantlets by showing you pictures of ours. We hope that our pictures will give you a good representation of what seedlings for common garden varieties look like so that you don't accidentally weed out the good plants.

Grow-Along Week 6

Howdy everyone!

So sorry we are a day late on our update this week! We have had so much going on here at the Micro-Farm that we completely missed our normal Thursday deadline. Plants are sprouting, budding, and flowering everywhere here, our Mason Bees have hatched and emerged, and our Chicken-Brigade is at full egg-laying power. This post is going to be super picture heavy so sit back and enjoy the updates!
