When you can ask yourself the hard questions and know there is support out there gardening comes easier. One thing I struggle with is editing my garden. I have a hard time getting rid of plants that have reseeded themselves but once I get started my garden starts to breathe a sigh of relief. What is hard for you in the garden?

I’m currently working on starting onions from seed. The part I feel stuck on is they weren’t sprouting well covered by straw. The support I would love is information on how others have successfully grown sweet onions from seed. One question I have is mulch or no?

Before the new week begins, take a few quiet minutes to gather your thoughts 💭, ground yourself in what matters, and choose one simple focus for the days ahead. What is your one steady step this week? So far today, my youngest son and I have re-arranged the sick bay/coop for one of our injured hens and are getting it ready for when our chicks (just hatching now) get to go out to the coop. Of Course that's over 6 weeks out but we are excited. My focus this week will be: ❓Answering any questions anyone might have.❓ 🌹Fertilizing my Roses🌹 🌻sitting down and redefining my back garden area (Flower Farm) to be more inviting and less like rows of flowers.🌻 ✨Oh and don't forget to like 👍 and comment 🗨️ on this post. It helps bring the community up on the discovery page for others to find. ✨ One last thing, on Wednesdays I will be doing a Happy Hour Hangout LIVE, Come join me and just chat, it is just a community after all. 🥰

Midweek is a good time to pause and notice what is actually going well. Not what still needs to be done. Not what feels unfinished. Not what you wish you were further along on. Just one thing that is working right now. Maybe your plants are finally perking up. Maybe your kitchen stayed a little cleaner this week. Maybe you remembered to water, prep, mend, plan, rest, or start again. Maybe you simply showed up in a small way. Those little wins matter here. Today’s prompt: What is one thing that is working for you right now, no matter how small? Share your Wednesday win below so we can celebrate the progress that often gets overlooked. ✨🌿

My Micro-Homestead project is growing sunflowers. 🌻 I chose this because I want to grow food for my chickens and wild birds.I already have 9 plant starts I just planted outside. I still need to help them grow big. By the end of this challenge, I want to feel like I am on the path to self sufficiency.
