When you ignore the garden for a week just to light a big giant bonfire there may be hell to pay.
BEFORE
So many weeds. So much grass. So few vegetables.
AFTER
Well, this is the horses actually
About 6 hours of weeding later, the garden looks better
And what do we get for our efforts so far? One tomato (delicious), two zucchini, one summer squash, and two jalapeño peppers. Lots more to come.
Being outside in the summer sun is an excellent break from poking plastic keys.

The snow is still deep. We’re still cutting trails with lots of effort. Sophie is shorter than the snow is tall. But frankly, the slow melt is fantastic given our location on the Shenandoah river.

Virginia is gorgeous in the Spring. Flowers everywhere you look, even hidden in the grass. And miles and miles of bluebells by the river. There is nowhere I would rather be.

It’s Spring. Time for new leaves and new arrivals at the Apothecary Shed.
Spring Leaves at the Shed
They come from the great white north where there is still snow on the ground.
