@ 8 p.m. 63*, mostly sunny, NW 8 mph Wind, O rain. Fire up the highway a bit. Warm but not hot. Perfect temperature. A good dry day to get things done. I made a cattle panel arch and planted a hardy kiwi plant at the base. Mulched it with cardboard and grass clippings. IContinueContinue reading “A perfect Saturday here.”

Onion Sets
45°F, Cloudy with mist, 0 wind, 9.32” rain ytd Thank goodness the snow has melted pretty quickly so I can start complaining about mud again 🤣🙌. I planted a few test seeds of sugar snap peas I’d saved from the farm garden, some spinach, and onion sets. One bed is now full. I will seeContinueContinue reading “Onion Sets”
More Wintersowing
45°F (started out 29°), sunny, calm I gathered a few more containers to get some early spring veggies planted- kale, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, chard, etc. I had a little help from Freya kitten in the greenhouse. As I was puttering around I recalled there were some pvc pipes laying around. Have been for a veryContinueContinue reading “More Wintersowing”
Beautiful little bees
25°- 54°F, sunny, calm Once again it started out clear and icy. The sun is nice but I really miss having running water and a useable toilet. I’ve found the perfect sized bowl that fits perfect in my camper toilet, lined with compostable bags for compost buckets, and I bury them in the woods. ItContinueContinue reading “Beautiful little bees”
Unfreezing Mentally
46°F, light rain, light wind I guess since my world as I knew it had come crashing down, I was stuck in a kind of mental limbo of doing only what I needed to survive. Roof over my head. Food in my belly. Work. A few people asked me what my plans for the futureContinueContinue reading “Unfreezing Mentally”
Wintersown
48°, Rain, breezy Yesterday I got some winter-sowing done outside. These are seeds that need a bit of cold stratification to help them to germinate. These will stay outside in the weather, no matter what that weather is during winter. Apparently they will sprout when it’s time to and not on my timeline. It’s lowContinueContinue reading “Wintersown”
Attempting video
43°, Mostly Cloudy, passing rain showers I’m attempting to load up some video I tried to make while planting onion seeds. Apparently you can’t load up anything very long. I had to break it up into pieces. I’m not sure how to edit yet and perhaps it’s easier to do on an actual computer ratherContinueContinue reading “Attempting video”
Seed Starting and Tree Pruning Prep
46°, mostly cloudy, showers, 103.22” rain so far this year I did end up laying landscape pavers over my muddy path yesterday. They were free pavers and they do the job even though they are a bit wonky. I got tired of sinking to my ankles in mud when stepping out of my camper. AndContinueContinue reading “Seed Starting and Tree Pruning Prep”
A rain free day— yesterday
46°, Partly Cloudy, Light Wind Day off and I was feeling pretty good. I know I should stay home on days like this and work the homestead but I took my dog out for some spoiling fun walking instead at one of the local coastal parks. He deserved a day of spoiling. Meanwhile, a videoContinueContinue reading “A rain free day— yesterday”
Wind Storm- Flying Buildings and Blueberry Jam
54°, light rain, breezy “I’m tired of these storms! There never used to be so many!” Proclaimed my climate change denying neighbor when I mentioned another storm arriving Sunday. Last week we had a bit of a storm. And one I wasn’t quite expecting. Tuesday night, I woke up on hearing a bang and aContinueContinue reading “Wind Storm- Flying Buildings and Blueberry Jam”
