Me too. Also, I’ll go out to my local conservation district. Only the honking geese are squabbling there. All I have to do is make sure I don’t step in the goose poop. Less harmful than stepping in political manure with honking humans.
It's too dang cold for gardening here, where I live, but at least we have sunshine today. Anxious to get out and plant my plants so I can stare at them every day wondering if they got bigger from the day before! Ha! It's such a better hobby than anything else out around other humans.
We just expanded the footprint of our existing garden but one day, hopefully, I will get a greenhouse. Our chickens got their home expansion so the greenhouse will be left off the table for a little while longer.
Happy chickens. Mine are waiting for a change in the plan. But they are good for the now.
I used to use one of those cheap $50 green houses with racks inside. It was great. Came out here and dug up the grapes in the arbor, I did not like anyways, left the 4x4 posts and threw pvc up over. Then secured plastic over that.it works great. when it snows I have to scrape that off, and big wind storms are nail biters. But I sure can grow a lot of seedlings in there.
Alsothanks to my son last summer he helped me build frames on each end for real doors. So now I have one old glass door in and the next one will happen this summer. All slow, but forward.
I’ve been doing that for a year now. I will be picking squash, cilantro, green beans, tomatoes, and jalapeños for dinner tonight. 😋 And while I was out surveying what’s for dinner I ate five strawberries. 🙌
Best decision I made last year was to take up growing my own food.
My only bummer this spring has been that my first Meyer lemon tree budded beautifully with tons of flowers and lemons starting and then promptly all dropped off. 😭 I was so bummed. Still don’t know what happened. Looks healthy otherwise. It was the first year so that might be it.
Ya. I’m in Florida. I am loving the almost year around gardening, but we take June July and august off because most veggies can’t survive the heat and humidity along with the rainfall. I didn’t know that last year ( 😳 😬) as I was new to Florida in 2020 and new to gardening a year ago, and I struggled my way through last summer trying. 😂 Since then have learned a ton! Great winter harvest and now spring is looking good. But I’m excited to take a break for the summer and hit it again in the fall.
This has kept me sane is clown world. I stepped back from all the political stuff (even though I stayed well informed) and just took a breath of fresh air and cleared my head this past year.
I feel the need to hide in my garden for the remainder of 2024. 😏

True!! My green house is useful though. I shut the door and hang out in there with the seedling's.
😍 That is heaven!

Oh awesome. You must live in a warm area?

Bravo on riding out the learning curve. I have a brother in Williston? And he is learning the curve well.
