Garden planning has begun! We've come a long way since 2021 and we're adding even more this year!

First gardening task of the season...cutting back the raspberries...I'm fking exhausted...

And I'd just like to say, for those of you who are wanting to garden, don't get discouraged. Especially if your garden experience isn't the idyllic scene that social media often shows. I'm not saying you can't have a perfect, w**d free garden that you can go out and pick in a cute sundress but odds are you won't. At least not for a while and that's ok!

I've been at this a long time and while I love it, it's hard work. You get hot and sweaty, even in 40 degree weather, dirty, stabbed by plants, bit by bugs and come in at the end of the day exhausted. And while that does sound terribly discouraging, it is also super rewarding. So don't give up...even if what you create doesn't look like some creator's. Odds are their s**t doesn't really look like that either...

Field trip to the living room for some non-artificial light today!!
Everyone is rocking and rolling...except the broccoli 🙄 so we are going to resow that today. Maybe the peppers too, though the yellow bells are just starting to come in. Our basil has sprouted too and one little rosemary 🌱

Love how my begonia leaves kinda look like lily pads 😍

35 pots...5 herbs...7 pots of each...how many seeds per pot?? No clue 😂
Basil, spearmint, rosemary and two varieties of lavender, planted on the New Moon and the Chinese New Year and Mardi Gras...I've got a good feeling about this 😉

Herb planting day!!! Now comes the real dilemma 🤔 How many potential seedlings can I start before it crosses the line into too many?

Rosemary (Salvia Rosmarinus) is another new herb for me. I purchased a plant last year and I am hoping that it survives this winter. My seed pack calls it a “tender perennial”…and says that “patience is key”…great…

Well, let’s learn together shall we? It’s another herb that does well in a container. It adapts well to dry conditions and prefers partial sun over full sun, though it will make it in full sun. It is best to do your harvesting in the morning, when the oils are most concentrated.

Rosemary is a great herb to use in cooking. It’s a favorite of mine to use in fried potatoes and roasted chicken. It is also a favorite essential oil for my homemade bug spray. It is an herb that invokes remembrance and apparently it was once believed that it grows where the righteous abide or where a woman rules the house. Interesting…how successful I am will be telling, eh?😂

Got my garden stool!! I'm super excited to use this for w**ding and picking. It can also be flipped over and used as a kneeler. No old lady comments needed. I intend to still be doing this s**t when I'm 80 so pre-planning is a must 😂

Baking day!! My assistant, Miss Maggie Mae, ran out of treats today so we had to rectify that. She also needed a refresher on her duties 😉
We are always taking orders, so let us know if we can bake some up for you 🐾 $6/dozen and for orders of 3 dozen or more, $5/dozen
