We sold every single stem we could pull out of the

We sold every single stem we could pull out of the field the week leading up to Easter. We harvested multiple times a day, trying to coax color out of the little green buds that refused to budge.

Easter lands on a different day each year, which means we have to guess which varieties will open around the same time as we’re celebrating any given year. But spring weather that triggers blooming tulips can waffle as much as 3 weeks in both directions. So your best bet is to grow some of everything and hope something is blooming at the right time. Sometimes it all blooms before Easter and all you have is what fit in the cooler and sometimes it all comes ready the week after and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Tulips are a weird, terrifying, and expensive gamble. But goodness, they’re worth every stressful peek under the netting (because the deer also love tulips as much as we do).

Planting week has landed on my birthday since the

Planting week has landed on my birthday since the first year we lived here and Marshall asked me how he could make my birthday special for me. I replied that I wanted to garden, so we did. And we haven’t stopped since.

But this year, we didn’t do much planting. We harvested some flowers and enjoyed picnics and walked around viewing our different growing areas. We talked about perennials and dreamt up new gardens and slowly, gently, peacefully came to terms with the fact that we needed to press pause on the CSA for a season.

I’ve never loved doing anything as much as I love growing green things. Except being a wife and mother.

A few days after Marshall’s fall down some steps, he started walking funny. A few days later, he was forgetful and slow to answer questions. It’s been almost a month since he fell, and he’s still substituting the wrong words in his sentences, still wincing when he bends over, still pausing before walking with the baby. He’s working with an incredible doctor and I see so many wonderful things ahead for him. But right now, caring for my family has to eclipse my efforts in keeping green things alive. Perhaps someone else could do both, but that’s okay. My garden will be there waiting for me, just as it always has.

We’ll still grow the things, we just won’t do it at the pace we were expecting of ourselves before. We’ll still harvest and preserve and share our abundance. We just won’t do it with a pre-determined timeframe. We’ll still spend our summer outside amongst the green things. We’ll just do it more slowly, more gently, and with more naps.

Janice had irises all over this place when we move

Janice had irises all over this place when we moved in, mostly in the shade. We’ve slowly rehomed them to full sun garden beds and as they’ve come into their own, I’ve gained a new appreciation for a plant that literally cannot be killed. We added several chunks to the slopes and I have a feeling these beds will soon become my new favorite growing spots on the property.
