Its Spring in the country! Our favorite and most exciting time of year. All of my pruning is done if you can believe it! It’s wet in the garden but during the early spring there are a few favorites I plant right away. My onions I started from seed in January and now the small sets are the perfect size to be put out. I have planted my arugula and spinach. My strawberries are perking up. I turn by beds over and amend them. I will plant my potatoes right around St Patty’s Day. I use burlap bags and nice fluffy soil. Next will go in the cilantro, reddish, beets, lettuce, kale, chard, and more carrots (I have winter carrots almost done now). My peas started I started in February and they are just tall enough to be stretching up searching for a trellis support. I like to make a tipi around them using stakes and string and it is a lot of fun for my son to help me.  In my starting trays are tomatoes and peppers. I will think about flower seeds soon.

We have honey available year round in our self serve garden stand from Honey tree apiaries. We also have fresh veggies, eggs, jam, and candles available. The spring bulbs are smelling amazing and vibrant with color. These include daffodils, crocus, iris, anemones, tulips, and three kinds of hyacinths. The succulents are thriving as well

Our calendar is filling up with classes ranging from homesteading to art to dance. To stay up-to-date with our schedule of events, be sure to check our calendar regularly.

I have been collaborating with different people to gain learning from various perspectives. That’s why I will also be working with guest teachers, speakers, and vendor to enrich your experience.
