I'll rise up

I’ll rise up

I’m sinking.

I don’t share the depths. I don’t ask for help. I wanted someone to notice but no one did.

The past 2 and a half years have been the worst of it. The worst of my life. I put on a half-assed smile for everyone and that was enough to appease and to let them off the hook from having to ask “How are you?” “I’m good, I’m fine” “No, really, how are you?”

Discomfort is hard, especially when…

Don't force it

Don’t force it

One of the lessons I have learned in the last year is that no matter how bad you think you want something, no matter how right it seems or feels, if you find yourself forcing it it is likely not what you really want or not what you need.

After leaving my corporate career, I immediately started jumping toward a dream I had. I put a lot of time, money and effort into trying to make this dream…

I have a lot of planting to do this weekend! Most of my seedlings have been doing great and are ready to be put in the raised beds. #growyourown #soilsister #greenthumb #urbanfarmer #urbangardener #takebackourfood #takebackyourhealth #eatyourveggies #medicinalherbs #seedlings

One of my dogs broke this off of a new plant I got. It has now been moved to safer area! And at least it had 7 more of these flower bunches so it still looks lovely. #projectbackyard

Trying to figure out what to do with this large area on the south side of the yard. Two maple trees, then two apple trees on the far end, and blackberries in the far corner. Lots of room to do some pathways and under plantings and need to grow something along that hideous plastic chain link fence. I need to get me a landscape designer friend 😁 #projectbackyard

Shot from the patio across the backyard. It's a completely different space from almost 2 years ago but sooooo many projects still on my to do list. Work in progress but I enjoy being out here, the hard work has been worth it! #projectbackyard

Hey farmer/gardener people, anyone ever seen this before? It's in a yet to be planted raised bed and it's creeping along the soil and at the base of a trellis. When I poke it its gooey. Weird. Hope it's not something that came in the compost 😐

Jungle cats be like...

Oh hello! Bees are pollinating away, hope to have loads of apples again this year. Didn't eat any last year because of worms. Anyone have good recs for natural fly/apple maggot prevention? Would like to can and store a bunch of apple creations this year. #urbanfarmer #urbangardener #organicallygrown #organicapples #backyardorchard

The babes are enjoying this warm sunshine. It sure is helping with the transition outdoors! I still bring them in at night but will be planting them out next week. Mom is taking some of the extras, rest will offer up to neighbors. I also have way too many winter squash and watermelon seedlings not even pictures here.#soilsister #greenthumb #growyourown #takebackourfood #takebackyourhealth #urbanfarmer #urbangardener

'Operation rescue mouse from the jaws n claws of Jabba the Cat' was a success! Whew! Little nug appears unscathed thank goodness. And thought that once it ran into the house I'd never catch him so I'm glad this story had a happy ending! 🐭
