073 The first day in the garden
I finally got to work in the garden! Instead of a quick look, Pepper and I have a good look at everything, and then get to work. I clean up the garden house, take down a tree, and somehow make the trash piles even bigger. I finally got to work in the garden. There are…

072 The garden wakes up
The garden is waking up, so I take a good look around and enjoy some sunshine before heading home to prepare a pork roast in the air fryer. I’ll also explain why I am no longer vegan. There is garlic! Yay! Oh! The onions are coming, too! Looks like everything survived the winter. It looks…

066 Early signs of spring
I am excited to clean up this mess. Seriously, I’m looking forward to carrying trash around. The end of winter is coming closer. I can hardly wait. The last storm took down a jar I’d forgotten even existed. I spotted it when Pepper and I went to check on the garden after another really bad…

056 It might look ugly but…
The storm blew off my garden house roof just the teensiest tiniest bit. I really am impressed how much is still left standing after THAT storm. Um… but we’ve got to fix it. I will need to get the big ladder to get a better look. Luckily, I still have materials in the garden house.…

046 The trash needs to go
The trash needs to go. I can’t see it anymore. I don’t care that, technically, someone promised to deal with the trash. It doesn’t seem to be happening on any kind of timeline I can work with, so, I’ve filled the car with the first load of trash, and I’m now going to drive it…

044 A tour of the two gardens
Earlier this year, I started a balcony garden. That spiraled into two plots of land to restore and grow on. It’s high time I give you a tour of the land I am restoring, both the growing garden and the overgrown neglected land. I think it’s high time that I show you what this land…

043 I finally planted something!
When I adopted the garden, I dreamed of growing food. I had little illusion, I’d get anything done this year. But I did! I prepared the first bed, and got to planting. For now, I’ve planted some garlic, some onions, and a whole lot of alfalfa. I left the house way too early in the…
