Garden Update April/May 21

5/3/2021

Since the end of March and practically all of April I was locked out of my blog in a seemingly endless password battle, I’m just going to lump April’s garden update in here with May. Be prepared for lots of pictures.

Hugelkultur Mound?

A what?!?

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.

It’s been quite a while. I do this every time. I’m so bad at being consistent. But I’m starting to be ok with it. Life isn’t ever consistent. And I can’t compare myself to those around me who are doing “similar” things. They aren’t working with the things I am, and vice versa. So I’m just gonna keep doing it my way. If that means coming and going from this blog, then so be cuz it. You come and go at your leisure. Check in, don’t, it’s all the same to me. I’m honestly not sure anyone truly reads this anyways. So it’s more of an open space for me to ramble. (Get it? “Rambling” Homestead? Haha. I’m a nerd, I know).

As you can probably guess there’s been a lot going on in the last year or so I’ve been absent. Where to begin? There are so many new things since June. I’ll probably forget some things but the gist of it is here

Inside:

I don’t have much going inside. Just a few cucurbit (squash, cucumber, pumpkin) seedlings that I started just in case my other ones bit the dust. I do however, have quite a few random odds and ends leftover outside on the greenhouse shelves. I’m contemplating selling them for cheap, if anyone local is interested.
