grounding

ok i have tried this before, but now i have the dirt to really play with.  This is bigger than it looks and bigger than i really need.  I am hoping to plant deer and rabbit delights on the outer edges just for their pleasure.  We moved in their neighborhood, not the other way around.  So instead of fighting it, i am going to just plant for Mother Nature and her pets.  Seed packets always have more seeds than one really needs, so might as well feed the natives. It is Autumn now.  I am going to try and really plot and plan for spring.  The garden it a potters delight, but i will not let that slow me down.  i am going to gather newspapers and debris to layer on this pretty clay bed.  Earthworms will help, too after i lay down the top layers.  A girl at work thinks she knows where i might get some manure fresh from the farm. 


The greenhouse is starting to sprout little green shoots.  I have herbs, one house plant and a pepper plant started.  this picture is an early shot, i will need to take some newer ones.

i am going to put in an order for some more seeds for winter sprouting and hopefully eating.  Bulbs that have been plotting in my pea brain need to be bought and planted. Lowes has some great prices right now for spring bulbs.  Michigan Bulbs has some i would love to have but that will have to wait until next year. I am also one rehabilitating a few house plants right now. 

The suet feeder is full and ready for winter. 

autumn's beauty shines!

i am glad you are getting your hands dirty again. we all need our release and i am glad you found what keeps you "grounded".

you have an awesome perspective, and i hope some of that may transfer over to me one day.
