On grief
A poorly-timed accident sends me spinning.
More things I’ve been liking
Some things that have made 2025 bearable.
Things I’ve been liking
As the world gets a bit dark and awful, here are some of the things that have brought me joy.
Making joy
The world is a lot right now, so I took some time to create some joy in it.
What’s happening in the garden?
The gardens are starting to really pay off!
Reevaluating the plan
The last blog of 2023. I’d like to start 2024 on a new page, so I’m taking a longer-than-usual break from the blog this summer.
The restorative things
Weirdly, life isn’t all about gardening. Sometimes you’ve gotta find some balance.
Getting over garden overwhelm
Gaining a focus on turning around the garden for another season.
Let’s go fly a kite
It’s taken nearly 3 years but I realised that all our space and wind make a fantastic combination for kite flying, so I bought a kite.
The succulent garden
It’s been on my ‘to-do’ list for a while, but last week I finally created my succulent garden.
Garden of smiles
I’m slowly learning plants don’t have to be “useful” to be worthwhile. So this week, I planted a flower garden just to put a smile on my face.
Leaving The Outpost
Leaving a farm is really hard, but we managed to get away for a couple of days this weekend, and I’m happy we did.
