Earth Day Sapling
I got a free sapling back on Earth Day. I'm finally ready to talk about it. :-P
Yeah, yeah. Earth Day was back in April, I know! But this is something that is still making me smile.
I just so happened to stop by our local Rosauers for groceries that day. When I walked in, they had a big display table set up for Earth Day offering free ponderosa pine saplings. I have a hard time passing up free stuff anyway (I thought about grabbing two…), but I immediately thought of all…

Raised Bed: The Buildening
The exciting conclusion to the saga of the raised bed! Whee!
Yeah, that photo above showcases some stellar winter weather we were hit with while I was tackling the building part of this project…
Anyhoo! Welcome to the buildening of the raised bed which would not have been possible without a little bit of plannening as described in part one.
Assembly
Ok, I went into this with every intention of building this bed by myself with no help from Nick. Why? I…

Raised Bed: The Plannening
Part one of my quest to build the raised bed for my vegetable garden.
Another long overdue post coming at ya! But better late than never, right? I spent a lot of the winter planning and dreaming about all the growing projects I was going to tackle this summer. If you’re at all interested in what the heck I was thinking when putting together my raised bed vegetable garden, read on!
Design Doesn’t look like much at the moment…
Location: I’m pretty limited as far…

Introducing...
Just a quick word about the newest member of the family!
This announcement is very past due, but I want to introduce you to the newest member of the family.
THIS IS KIRBY!!! SQUEE!!!
Cute, right?!?
We did not go into this year expecting to get a puppy. After Zelda died, the energy in the house wasn’t right. Part of that was the shock of her sudden passing, but it was also the emptiness of the house. Nick and I both grew up with dogs, and this…

The Starting Point-2018 Growing Season
Preparing for an awesome growing season. So much to do!
Spring time in Montana can be a bit maddening. We don’t have four distinct seasons. Rather they tend to blur into each other. And before you fully realize that you’re in summer, it’s already started to fade into fall. It means I’m going to have to develop a much keener sense of the seasons when thinking about outdoor planting for new growing seasons.
As winter fades into spring, we’ve been…

What You Really Need to Get Started Gardening
What You Really Need to Get Started Gardening
Dirt. You need to get your dirt right. And that’s it! Good talk, folks. Bye for now… Yeah, right! So, the question of how to get started gardening is a perfectly valid one, but I think it gets asked over and over because the answers might not be what you were hoping for. When I was ready to get started, I wanted someone to tell me: Do a, then b, then c, and then YOU’LL HAVE AN THE MOST…

Getting ready to say goodbye to the bean plant. It's stopped giving beans and looking pretty sad. This has been such a fun project full of learning. Time to figure out the next growing adventure. Suggestions? . . . #indoorgrowing #indoorgarden #garden #gardening #beans #dragontonguebeans #needmoretogrow #springfever

Spring fever strikes again! I adopted a couple houseplants today. Anyone know what the bottom plant is? The tag said, "I am a houseplant." . . . #houseplants #springfever #indoorgarden #garden #ivy #mysteryplant

And now for something a little different. I've been working on a nerdy, Zelda patio table using bottle caps. I think the design turned out amazing!!! Next step is some grout and epoxy. So exciting! . . . #diy #bottlecapart #legendofzelda #zelda #hyrule #triforce #hyrulerules #patiofurniture

The spring fever is intense this winter!!! Even with some retail therapy and late night radish planting, it can't be quelled. . . . #thinkspring #garden #gardening #indoorgardening #seedstarting #radishes #whencanigooutside
