    A Fall Garden with the Kids

    July 23, 2018 /

    The idea of a fall garden has always been just a little intimidating to me.

    Garden Planning

    March 5, 2018 /

    There are a lot of different aspects to planning a garden. There were a few I had nearly been afraid to tackle up until this last week.

    Seed Starting

    March 1, 2017 /

    It’s been sort of a depressing winter up until recently.  It rained more than I ever remember before for a Wisconsin winter, and it seemed to be perpetually cloudy and gloomy.  You can imagine my excitement when the sun would peek out and the snow or ice would begin to melt.
