Willamette Valley, zone 8b.Dream farm: berries, veggies, flowers, orchard, bee hives, greenhouse, chickens, mini goats, horses, pasture, forest, and a creek running through.

The strawberries are all blooming and setting fruit, we have to water them daily during this stage to get the fruit to develop but we try to do it when there’s fewer insects and bees visiting all the flowers. For the first two years we couldn’t get them to fruit and the flowers would just dry up after losing their petals, but then eventually we figured out they require an inch or more of water per day when flowering and fruiting.

I go to the garden to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put together.
