Snapshots and snippets of the beautiful, crazy world right out our front door.
If you’d like to share some of your own photos or a blog post, please leave a link in the comments!
Our few surviving kale plants, after the assault of the cabbage worms, and a bed prepped and ready to plant garlic.
The final ripe tomatoes of the year, harvested before the first frost.
Our first sweet potatoes! What a fun crop to grow. And with no pest problems, affecting this year’s crop, I am super excited to plant an even greater quantity next year.
The siding! Our beautiful reclaimed barn wood siding completes the south-facing exterior.
We had our lower pasture mowed, which opens up the hillside in such a beautiful way, and readies it for future livestock.
What is happening outside of your front door?
I love your garden… and excited to see that you have your garden beds the way that I am planning next year… I think. Got any good sources or info on your blog for that? Guess I’m going to have to go on a hunt.
Finally finished stacking straw bales up around our hives and placed the mouse guards. None too late… temps dropped to the high 20’s earlier last week. What the heck.
It was in the high twenties for us!
I recently wrote an article on sheet mulch gardening: http://www.fromscratchmag.com/lasagna-gardening-how-to-make-an-instant-garden-with-sheet-mulching/
Good luck preparing your beds!

The siding is up!! It looks gorgeous! And I love your garden, too. I really want to try my hand at growing sweet potatoes because we eat a lot of them. They sound pretty easy.
They were very easy. We started the slips ourselves, but also bought a few. Very fun, affordable, and easy to grow.
