I’ve been working on veggies in the back and dyes in the front. We have to big raised beds in the back so far, with tomatoes, jalapenos, squash, zucchini, and radishes. I imagine I’ll only get one harvest of radishes before it’s too hot for them, and maybe then I can do more in the fall.
The flax is coming along quite nicely, too; I’m hoping to actually get a good harvest this year so I can process it.
The indigo is proving harder to cultivate, but I’m also really stubborn, so we will see who wins this one this year.
I’ve been enjoying the outdoors so much, especially in the mornings when I can sit and listen to all the birds and just have some solitude in nature. It really makes me wish I had more free time to spend doing things that don’t involve sitting in front of a computer all day. (Insert daydream about bronze age living here.) (Seriously though, how much knowledge about plants and animals do so many of us not have any more? If I knew enough of how to live sustainably and had the time to work on a big garden I would do it in a heartbeat.)
Haven’t had much time to craft because I’ve been gardening instead, but hopefully soon I will have finished my second shelf curtain, and will make some final curtains for the craft room windows.
More updates soon.
