We've returned to the homestead!

Wow, what a trip! In this vlog we talk about what it's like being back on the land, all of the growth and some self care intentions as we flow into the busyness of spring!

Spinach, dandelion green bouquet!

What's growing?

Garlic is popping up in its special green vibrancy, raspberry, rose, currant, elderberry leaves leafing out, daffodils and other bulbs popping out of the ground, among others! The high tunnel had some crazy growth and made a great breakfast omelet of spinach and dandelion greens!

Sweet Spring Beauties Popping Up

Ini brings up a great point about the biodynamic concept of farmer as part of a larger earth-based organism. It's so easy to get sucked into the vibrant and sometimes hectic nature of the homestead, but we must remember to nourish and rest, just as the earth does. Without this factor, we'd drive ourselves crazy and we're simply repeating the unhealthy patterns of a sick culture that prizes doing over being.

Sweet Annie (Artemisia annua) Volunteer

Wren talks a bit about Sweet Annie, a plant that has popped up without her sowing in our high tunnel and about a cake dream and how these two "sweetnesses" are affecting her mentality and lifestyle. We find plants always come to us at just the perfect time!!
