Late April in the Garden

The best is yet to come.

Sporadically posting on here. That’s been typical of my blog-life as long as I’ve had one. I always strive for consistently but, man, writing more than a few sentences seems to take forever.

I wanted to share some photos of my current garden but first, I have a question: what are you doing online these days? I see friends still lurking in the shadows: people look at stories and send memes back-and-forth on group chats—oh so many group chats.

But are you offline other than that? A quick peep at the news but no social media anymore? Avoiding it all and rotting with some Netflix? I’m just wondering what other people are doing in our current hellscape. The internet feels dead in many places if you’re not looking to spout hate and divineness.

April in the Garden!

Might be planting peppers a week or two early. Let’s see if we get lucky!

I’m really enjoying the garden this year. We tilled up a huge chunk of our yard and are working to establish a flower garden, mostly from seed. We also more-than-doubled our blueberry bushes this year as well and added some more native plants from the VT Plant Sale.

Here’s what I got going this week:

It’s that slow time of year where everything seems to take forever to grow except the weeds. Finally, the greens are growing a little faster. Herbs are taking off. And I got some warmer-season stuff in from Riverstone Organic Farm yesterday!

Thankful for the rain today. Anyway, enjoy these photos and don’t be a stranger. There’s lots of good happening in the world if only we escape looking at all the bad they want us to see. Go plant something for me.
