I've been a little quiet on here lately....
It's easy to be overwhelmed with the tragedies of these past few days ๐Ÿ’”
I do know that there is still light in the darkness, and good shining through.๐ŸŒ„

So many stories of people helping each other out, and individuals travelling to the disaster areas to rescue, or bring supplies, or donate ๐Ÿฉต

I'm grateful that we're still here.
I'm grateful to say that we're still open for business, and most of the flowers made it through ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธ

I made this flower delivery on Saturday, in the midst of the storm/rains/chaos of not having power, and chaos going on in our country.
It brings me joy to spread a little bit of hope and joy and beauty, in the form of flowers that I have planted and cared for all year. ๐Ÿ’

We'll be open for the next 2 or 3 weeks *depending on frost*
So come and enjoy the flowers while you can๐Ÿ™‚
Order a bouquet, or just come and sit a while ๐ŸŒธ

Glory Hallelujer!๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿฅš
I can only tell you about the joy of seeing this lone lil egg, during molting season ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿชถ๐Ÿชถ๐Ÿชถ

It has been quite a rambling journey with my chickies this year, the latest lesson being about molting.

Different breeds will take different amounts of time to molt, and while they do their egg production can slow a lot (or stop). They put their energy and protein into growing their feathers back.
Since mine were freshly new to laying, they had stopped for the last 3-4 weeks. Also I have several who were just getting ready to start laying, and then their molt/winter came.

Things you can do that will help them during this time-
๐ŸŒปgive them plenty of sunflower seeds and scratch
๐Ÿฅฉ give them more protein
๐ŸŒŸ consider giving them more light (we are putting up a string of lights on a timer to give them just a little more)

I was so happy to see that egg sitting there glowing un the sunshine ๐Ÿ˜ ๐ŸŒž ๐Ÿฅš

Homemade Ranch! ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŒฟ
This should last at least a little while๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคฃ

Fresh chives, dill, garlic, and fresh squeezed lemon.
Buttermilk, heavy whipping cream, sour cream
A dash of white wine vinegar
Salt and pepper.
Shaken, not stirred.
(Jk๐Ÿคช but I did shake it up mostly in the jar, after the herbs were blended)

I measure everything to taste and what feels right๐Ÿ™‚

It was a great day for......
Planting TULIPS! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’๐ŸŒทโš˜๏ธ๐ŸŒท๐Ÿ’

I had a cute helper today๐Ÿ™‚


This one row will have multiple types of tulips, aliums, and a few daffodils. It will be the FIRST to bloom this coming spring, and I'm so excited to be able to offer fresh bouquets in time for Mother's Day๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’

Cardboard, manure/compost, bulbs, compost/dirt, and mulch. ๐Ÿ˜ณ shew๐Ÿคช It's a lot of work that will be worth it in the first moments of spring after this winter๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’

On our farm, we stick to organic growing practices as much as possible. We are using the Back to Eden gardening method (no till/ lasagna/ mulch).
So that means for the past YEAR, nay--TWO YEARS! ๐Ÿคช I have been feverishly collecting cardboard and mulch๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘ (thanks family๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ)

Mulching is a key component to this gardening style. You are essentially covering/smothering the unwanted weeds, while building up a healthy soil bed. It takes A LOT OF MULCH.๐Ÿ˜ณ

I have dreamt about mulch before. (For reals๐Ÿคฃ) My husband literally woke up to me at 7AM TODAY talking to a tree service about their truck full of mulch I saw over the weekend ๐Ÿคฃ
I. Need. All. The MULCH. ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ‘

One thing we also have been doing is picking up huge batches of spent mash (malt) at a local brewery which we use as compost. (Also the chickies get to eat some too)
With as many things as I'm planting and various garden plots we will have this season, we need all the compost, poo, and mulch we can get๐Ÿ‘

Follow these pics to see my process of planting some garlic today๐Ÿง„๐Ÿง„๐Ÿง„

(PS-There is always a better way to do something ๐Ÿ™ƒ Normally you would cover the entire cardboard area with several inches of compost/poo, and then several inches of mulch. I also know that technically I should have let this malt compost before using it. In a perfect world, thats what I would have done. Also its a tad late to be planting garlic, but I aint a quitter, and I dont let things go to waste ๐ŸคฃThis is how I chose to do it, and I'm sharing so that you can see B2E gardening on a budget. I will add grass clippings and leaves to the rest of this spot and plant something else there in the spring. I do not have unlimited poo and compost and mulch right now. Hopefully some day๐Ÿ™‚)

Now tell us something you put garlic on/in๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘

Yep I got 10 things done from the list today. ๐Ÿ‘Š Also me.....๐Ÿคช๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ“Here chickie chickie๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฉต
