Granny squares weren't challenging enough, so I guess I'll check back in and update everyone on my progress in 2030 💙💛

I grow many low-care fruits. My orchard is filled with varieties developed by Ukrainian plant breeders, some of the best low-care fruit for temperate areas around the world.

I'm so grateful for the dedication and expertise of these scientists and for the gifts they have shared with us all.

I want to brag on my buff orpingtons....14 eggs from 17 ladies in these winter months. And Loretta gets a pass due to her advanced years 💜

I did not make this- but I was thrilled to find it at goodwill a few months ago for $4.99. I'm always happy to rescue items made with love 💜

I am fascinated by these natural dyes done by @crikeys.bsky.social

Here's some pictures of the natural dyeing I did last year, I love these pictures, they remind me of warm summer days 😊🧶

Bare-root June-bearing strawberries waiting to be added to a large quantity of established ever-bearing plants. Not a super exciting picture, but I'm interested to see how they do in direct comparison! 🍓

Color additions to my "Spring Threw Up"
blanket. I picked up teals. However, they are reading a bit more blue in the picture. I'm hesitant to add a bright yellow for some reason....maybe a pale yellow; taking suggestions!

I have this fantastic ladder that has been in the family a few generations that I'm looking to use as a trellis in the garden. I've searched for a few ideas, but if anyone has a specific idea they'd like to share, I'd love to hear it! 💜

Crouching Tiger Zinnias from Park Seeds have huge orange blooms on shorter stems that pair nicely with taller annuals.
