October is just about over and it seems like rather than counting the number of seedlings fighting to sprout I’m counting the days until the next election.
With all the things going on in 2020 right now, I’m starting to wonder if a lack of rain during monsoon season will just be another tally to the 2020 bingo card.
Another month, and I’m sad to report no official garden has been started yet at The Green Hearth. So, I wanted to take this month to share something I have been rather excited about ever since I befriended these little guys: compost worms.
It. Is. Hot.
Arizona, you do not disappoint when it comes to the heat; and that only makes me want my garden to survive even more! But, something new may be in store….
I’m waiting for those April showers to begin!
Since I am spending more time at home these days, I am finding myself more involved with my plants. So much so, that even though my small veggie garden has been overrun with leafy greens, I have once again begun to try germinating more seeds.
It’s March and it seems like Mother Nature is confusing “April showers” for “right here, right now!” The garden is thriving, and we have begun to harvest some of its treats, but there are still a few plants that just can’t seem to take hold in this wonky space.
Every year it seems like we can’t get past the tradition of setting goals for ourselves. And I am no exception.
However, this year I have decided to not only think of myself and my personal goals but how I can better The Green Hearth.
Initially, I wanted to have 1 goal. One single item I could focus all my efforts on for the year so I could truly make progress. The truth is, there seemed to be one other thing on my mind I felt necessary to make 2020 an amazing year!
It’s a new year, new home location, and a new garden to work with! This season, I have decided to take a small south-facing garden (with a rather unusual shape) to plant some food-producing options in our raised garden.
