Planning Ahead

It has been really hard to plan ahead with the uncertainty we are all facing.  But there are some things we can control, and for Mark and me, that means starting work on a huge garden to teach from this summer.  This will be by far the largest garden we’ve ever planted, but if we can fence out our resident deer, there may even be extra produce for our local food bank.  There is something so hopeful about starting with a pile of dirt and a handful of seeds.

We are fortunate to have some land to work with. Most of it is set aside for wildlife, but this piece had non-native blackberries, thistles, & a lot of holes. If this is too much to water this summer, we may convert some to forage crops for our deer.

Happy as can be!

For us, the more to do, the better. Right now, most of our time is shooting videos, making webpages, & editing. But we have three summer courses ahead, and it means having to start working on those too. A garden will be the perfect place to learn: a natural and beautiful laboratory.
