Top 10 Purchases That Defined 2021

December 24, 20211 Comment

All year I have completed LOTS of 10 Good Things Lists. At the conclusion of 2021, I’m writing a series of blog posts on some of the best things that got me through this year. This list is dedicated to the top ten items I would say made the biggest impact on me during 2021. … Continue reading Top 10 Purchases That Defined 2021

the state of our garden: week 013

July 20, 2015July 20, 2015Leave a comment

Here at week 013 it feels like summer and this garden have been going on forever. Things are hot, overgrown and starting to putter out. Nonetheless, there have been some developments in our garden. Ryan discovered these hornworms. These are bad news for tomato plants. Thankfully we were able to pick them off the plants … Continue reading the state of our garden: week 013

the state of our garden: week 009

June 19, 2015June 19, 20152 Comments

[image source: Canva] It is officially week nine of our garden project. We have had some difficulty with our squash and zucchini; they got a type of worm and neither of the plants survived. Ryan pulled them up and has been carefully watching all of our other goodies. To see the full list of what … Continue reading the state of our garden: week 009

the state of our garden: week 007

June 5, 2015June 3, 2015Leave a comment

The time is finally here that we have been able to partake in the bounty of our garden! Yay!!! This is week seven, counting forward from week zero when Ryan put plants into the ground. [For the record the above photo is a stock image from Canva. We didn't plant radishes!] Anyway, about two weeks … Continue reading the state of our garden: week 007

the state of our garden: week 004

May 15, 2015May 12, 2015Leave a comment

I almost hate to call these posts The State of Our Garden since I have done almost nothing toward putting in or maintaining it besides a trip to Lowe's with Ryan and photographing our plants. I keep saying that my part comes when the harvest arrives. I'll be cooking and canning and freezing. Right now, after … Continue reading the state of our garden: week 004

the state of our garden: week 000

April 17, 2015June 18, 20151 Comment

It has been nearly a month since I last updated on the state of our garden. I didn't have too much to report. Ryan was waiting on the last spell of cold weather to move out of here and until we would return from a week-long trip out of town. Over the weekend, Ryan and … Continue reading the state of our garden: week 000

it’s not the one who plants or the one who waters

April 13, 2015April 26, 20155 Comments

This year I have taken notice of the many metaphors with plants and growth.  I have written about my own Failure to Thrive and the important repotting process. I have written about how you can have All the Right Moves, and sometimes the process ends up being more important that the product. I have written about how … Continue reading it’s not the one who plants or the one who waters

the state of our garden

Officially, our seeds we started are out. Ryan plans to purchase and invest in a better quality of starter plants. I think I knew this fact all along. I think I was just antsy to start the process and took matters into my own hands with the seeds. Doing things right is better than doing … Continue reading the state of our garden

the state of our garden

I've got a little good news/bed news situation going here. The good news is that the garden is still ON. The bad news is that the seeds we used for my son's science fair project are the same seeds that I bought for the garden and Ryan isn't so sure the seed quality wasn't to … Continue reading the state of our garden

all the right moves

February 20, 2015March 18, 2015Leave a comment

It pains me to say that on Monday, my son is going to have to walk into his agricultural science class at co-op and turn in a tri-folded project board and some printed up data from a science fair project that yielded exactly no conclusion and no results. It started out so well. We had … Continue reading all the right moves
