I’ve been putting off making my center raised bed. So this week I made the time to move some plants that needed it and placed them in the raised bed and now I’m on the hunt for a pump to make a water fountain out of my urn in the middle. Can’t wait until it fills up. Thank goodness it’s going to cool down this weekend. Now to try to keep the dogs from rooting around in it. 😜

I have had to give myself grace this last week. My son had surgery and nighttime has been really hard. So doing the bare minimum has been all the effort I can give my garden, house and self. So remember. It’s all about the rhythms in your life. Start small, grow slowly. 🥰

Homework delayed 😅

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.
