A 3-tier metal & wire shelving system, being prepared for seed starting. 2 shelves have plastic sheeting covering them, and LED plant lights lay on the shelves, waiting to be set up. The windows behind the shelving unit look out to bright blue skies & plenty of sunshine.

An orange & white cat lays on a water-catchment tray on a shelf inside the small metal greenhouse that will be used for seed starting. He makes himself at home, cozied in the warm sunlight.

Stacks of black plastic plant pots sit on a clean stainless steel countertop, waiting to go into a hot, sudsy bath to be cleaned prior to being used this season.

Black plastic plant pots, upside down on a white towel, drip drying after being washed.

Spent the first taste of springtime-type temps of 2026 in the greenhouse, both stewing over the latest fresh hell that is the news today, and embracing the tradition of spring cleaning in preparation of starting fresh new life 🌱

Photo of a hand in a knit winter glove holding a very long pole with a wide push broom head on the end. The ground all around is covered in snow.

Photo of the entrance end of a hoop house (AKA polytunnel) surrounded by a thick blanket of snow and snow still falling heavily from the sky. There is no snow piled on top of the hoop house, however, because it was all removed with the extension pole broom.

Hubs hooked me up with a custom snow remover for the hoop house (duck taped a push broom to an extension pole). Worked like a charm!

A variety of overgrown, messy potted succulents and houseplants sit on a blue tarp covering a table, waiting to be cleaned up & propagated.

4 tall evergreen trees stand together across from a snow-covered clearing, with their limbs gently weigned down by the 3 inches of white snow clinging to them.

Propagation Station™️ set up on the kitchen table, ready to rescue some overgrown succulents, while 3+ inches of snow is piling up around the farmstead.

A dark red chicken coop in the snow; about 7 inches of undisturbed snow lie all around & atop the roof of the coop. Clouds in the sky are moving to the left of the photo, allowing clear blue sky to show through on the right. Text over the photo reads: "Anyone who thinks that gardening begins in the spring & ends in the fall is missing the best part of the year; for gardening begins in January with the dream.", a quote by Josephine Neuse

A photo of a slumbering garden, with brown leaves all over the ground, a white clay flower pot & half wine barrel in the background. Text over the photo reads: "The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes & ears. It was their final, most essential command... and if all others accepted the lie which the party imposed, if all records told the same tale, then the lie passed into history and be became truth." -1984, by George Orwell

A photo of a middle-aged white woman's hand holding a black & rust-colored chicken feather. The text over the photo reads: Privilege is being able to wonder if it's your fight. Empathy is knowing that if someone is hurting, it already is.

The horrors persist. But so do we.

A branch of a raspberry bush, with leaves just starting to yellow, has several ripe red Raspberries clinging to the end.

A few clusters of multiple raspberries as they are just beginning to ripening on the branch. A couple of ripe red raspberries can also be seen, as well as lots of green leaves in the background.

October raspberries just hit differently 💜

Looking down the central path in a raised bed garden setup. Green healthy vegetable plants line the walkway & Cover the arched trellises. A long, stretched shadow of a middle-aged woman leaning on the gate door can be seen up the mulched pathway. Text at the top reads "when it's the 3rd of August, & you are acutely aware that the sun's angle is moving from Summer to Autumn"

The wheel of the year is a-turnin'

Three bundles of fresh, colorful herbs, bound tightly together with natural twine string.

A large wicker harvest basket sits on n a green lawn of grass & clover. It is filled with bright orange carrots with their green leafy tops all still attached.

A large wicker basket sits on a lawn of green grass & clover. The basket is filled with freshly harvested garlic, with long roots sticking out from the bottom of the bulbs, and long green leaves growing out of the tops.

The dirt-covered hand of a middle-aged white lady grips a huge bulb of garlic.

Bountiful, albeit sweaty, harvest today out in the sauna that is summertime in July in SE PA. That's half of the first planting of carrots & the full bed of Purple Pehoski garlic. Hot fun in the summertime 🌱

A wooden & wire mesh harvest basket filled with (from bottom to top): comfrey leaves, pickling cucumbers, sugar snap peas, Echinacea flowers, and 2 zucchini

Looking into the bottom of a red plastic blueberry rake, where a pile of freshly-harvested chamomile flower heads await the drying racks.

On today's episode of "harvest quick before the storms roll in", we've got Comfrey, pickling cukes, snap peas, zucchini, Echinacea & Chamomile 🌱

The open palm of a middle-aged white lady's right hand, with the tips of the thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers (plus a small splotch on the palm itself) stained deep maroon with black raspberry juice. The background is a green lawn.

6 tan-color natural fiber berry containers are filled with black raspberries & sitting on a wooden countertop.

On this morning's chore list was black raspberry picking. Most made it to the farm stand, several were taste-tested for quality control, and others were accidentally smashed in the process. Worth it! 🌱

On a patch of green grass sit 5 giant heads of green cabbage, freshly pulled from the garden beds, each with huge green outer leaves.

A bamboo cutting board has a chef's knife with a black handle sitting on it, with a few flecks of green cabbage shreds on the blade. Behind the knife is a small pile of shredded green cabbage, surrounded by larger chunks of the cabbage head that are waiting to be sliced.

Several pint-sized wide mouth glass Ball canning jars sit on a cream, gray & black flecked granite countertop. The jars are 3/4 full of the shredded cabbage & salt blend of a sauerkraut recipe. The cabbage is weighed down with glass weights, and the jars have brightly-colored (pink, green, blue, or yellow) silicone "burp" lids that allow the fermenting cabbage to off-gas.

Pulled the first 5 humongo cabbages of the season today, then got right to work channeling my Polish ancestors & making the pure magick that is homemade sauerkraut. 11 jars of the goooood stuff, now fermenting happily in the cellar!

A stalk of vibrant purple flowers of a Salvia plant, surrounded by its green leaves. A busy honeybee has its head inside one of the flowers, its legs covered in collected pollen.

A black & white Mason Wasp hovers over a white flower bud of a raspberry plant. The green stems and leaves are im the background of the photo, and are out of focus.

It's National Pollinator Week, friends 🐝 🦋 🐦 and we're spreading the love for these amazing allys by planting native flowers and singing to them (however off-key we may be) to let them know they're appreciated 💚🌱

A raised bed garden with lush carrot greens in the foreground, followed by rows of smaller, younger carrot plants, cucumbers growing up a trellis on the right-hand side. Beyond the carrots are some marigolds with orange blooms, then some zucchini plants, and Nasturtium plants at the very back.

A raised bed garden with the leafy greens of Radishes in the foreground (at various stages of planting & growth, and behind them are large green bushy potato plants.
