If you build it, Plants will come

     A few weeks back I asked Ralph (Caveman) for a garden fence. The fence idea was originally to keep critters out, but evolved to keep littles out too. Gummy Bear can’t help himself in that fresh dirt!

This is a hard post for me

     I believe strongly in the power of hard work, so I push myself, usually to the limit. But it’s no longer just about me. I can work myself to the bone, push my body farther than I should and I’m usually ok with that. I mean yes, it does wear me thin. Yes, it does get exhausting and I do have break downs. I’m not super human or anything. But the problem comes when the list of things to do is longer than I can handle at a comfortable pace, so I push.

I think with all the brush we’ve been clearing, and all the yard clippings, the best thing to do is build a hugelkultur mound. I’ve never built one, never mind grown in one, so this will be interesting.

New house, new garden

      Well, we moved and bought a house. Yay! That also means we have to start fresh with the garden. All the hard work I put into my perennial herbs, and berry patches, left behind. But it’s ok.
     ​​Things at the old house were less than ideal. Most of it was me working with what we had. I couldn’t change much. And there were years where someone would come along and unknowingly undo my hard work. One of the downsides to being a caretaker where leadership switched hands more times than you could count.
​Regardless, we learned so much from that place, those gardens. But now we have our own place. We can make all of our own decisions and not have to worry someone will come by and change it. I’m actually quite excited.
