Everyone, my lavender didn’t make it. It lost its will to live. I’m sad by this. When we were first talking about gardening, the first thing out of my mouth was “I want to grow lavender”. I envisioned long rows of it, with plants that were 6 ft. tall. Bees, and butterflies frolicking. The smell, [...]

I planted some seeds today, all over the place. Come summer, this place will look like a wild jungle with all of the flowers and vegetables. We are also taking some time to work on my herb garden. Paul is filling it in with flat stones so you can walk through it. I think he’s [...]

So Becky came over and gave Paul and I a lesson in raising baby chickens. Apparently they need to eat greens, and sand. I kind of knew about the sand, because they have gizzards, yadda yadda, but I was under the impression that they get all of their good stuff from the chick starter. I [...]
