april and may small changes- so behind!

well, i may not have been keeping up on the blogging end, but we've been busy on the homestead. april we started our seeds. alan repurposed some wood to make a salad table and i spent easter afternoon planting seeds (marigolds, tomatoes, peppers, lettuce).

i've done another round of planting (herbs, sunflowers, chamomile, cucumbers, zucchini, beans) to keep the lettuce coming and add some more since we're (hopefully) post frost.

thinking about spring

yesterday i caught myself thinking about spring and what i'd like to grow in the garden. at first, i was thinking we'd do a csa, but then i remembered we have such a big yard and i'd love to tend to a garden. then alan was quick to remind me that we really should give our seeds a head start indoors to really make the most of our ohio growing season. imagine my excitement when i came across this tutorial tonight. it fits right in with my drive to be more eco friendly and resourceful.

my other diy tutorial i found was via martha stewart. a salad table to keep bentley and other naughty pests from our greens. i'm already starting to plant ideas in alan's head.
