We're one step closer to finally growing on the farm.🌷✨️

I've been busting ass redesigning our farm model and making great progress!

It's time we change things up!

What are we growing? FOOD (and flowers and herbs but mainly food). Direct to ppl who need it (by $, helping out, and/or barter)

When you see a pink flower this week, that's your sign to ground your energy. Balance is key.

Did I get out of the car while in line for pickup, run up to a tree that has dangling seeds, grab a handful and take off?
YES And I'd do it again 🤪

Eastern Redbud has moderate growth, great for pollinators and song birds.

Perfect for a pollinator + cut flower garden. Draws in allies🫶

Those Ep files must be massive!

When you control everything, you can't blame anyone else. These websites are intended to be nonpartisan because they're paid for by everyone.

Newly mated queens "hibernate" (enter diapause). Workers, males, and older queens tend to die off.

Had one this morning stuck in my window (likely looking for warmth).

On the off chance it was a new queen, figured we give her a helping hand. #gardening #permaculture

I'm rethinking my whole water conservation strategy to my off grid flower farm 💅

I'm legit going to do a water saving / rain barrel video now

My hope with my content is to interrupt your scroll to bring a moment of pause, take a breath, and watch the sunset.

It's okay to not feel okay, but just don't sit in that for too long.🫂

Reground yourself, talk a walk, be in nature. At the same time, might as well do a bit of a garden assessment.

Its okay to not feel okay, and it's okay to not have all the answers, but don't stay there long.

World is going to hell in a hand basket, but there are some things we can control and do.

Gardening is more than just growing things. It's grounding yourself, taking a breath, and tuning in to the rhythm of the ecosystem.

So buckleup buttercup, we got shit to do.🤓

Bees got you anxious? Here are a few of my tips as a flower farmer (and someone highly allergic).

Sharing here bcuz this might help someone. 🫂 Not my usual stuff but felt like it's needed to be said.

As a people leader in my day life, these are
some of the things I say to my colleagues and employees:
(Thread)🧵👇

On my farm, I'm fully removing MUGWORT (Artemisia vulgaris) to hopefully pass an audit (I plan to sell flowerand herb seeds and plants, and can't have invasive things growing).

ALSO, stay tuned for some of my 💀🌱 weeds. Better to be safe😏

Day 2: garden progress check in. Clear out the main weeds.

CHECK ✅️

For bindweed, the key is to suffocate the roots and let them burn through all their stored energy—and clear plastic is the best tool for the job 😉. It heats the soil underneath, and when the plant tries to regrow, the trapped heat and lack of oxygen cause it to suffocate.
Patience. 😏

Weeds are plants, with their own personalities and growth patterns.

Which also means the termination method matters more than you think! I'll cover more in the next videos.
