September 22nd is the Autumnal Equinox

Our front yard rain barrel is finally in place.
It was only yesterday when I finally got around to setting out the front yard rain barrel, and it’s already full! Continue reading “Our front yard rain barrel is finally in place.”
June 20th is Summer Solstice
And I should be taking shade pattern pictures today.
Rainy day research, bookmark sorting and other progress bits.
Today was the first day we’d hoped to start tackling the blackberry corner. Although it was predicted that there would be showers today, we had no idea how consistent they would be on this cooler March day. So I did my level best to work on other garden related things that needed tending. Continue reading “Rainy day research, bookmark sorting and other progress bits.”
I’ve got trellis on my mind
Although I was thrilled to pieces last year when we found the Hidden Treasure trellis, the plant I chose to use it with was not the best option. Continue reading “I’ve got trellis on my mind”
Sun & Shade Mapping: Spring Equinox, 2021
I am a natural night owl. So yesterday I simply stayed up just to see if we would have any sunlight worth noting at 6AM. We did not, but I still managed to catch a neat shot. I did manage the 9AM as well, but then fell asleep in my chair and woke up just in time to snap a near noon shot before toddling off to bed. I did get up in time for the 6PM. I cheated a bit today by taking the 3PM shot because I figured one day difference is still close enough. (Said to self while inwardly cheering the skies were not cloudy as well.) [Note: I took an actual 3pm shot today (22nd), so for those that might have seen this post before, now the sequence makes more sense. If this is your first time reading it, I moved the prior note about why I had to fix a mistake to the bottom of the post.] Continue reading “Sun & Shade Mapping: Spring Equinox, 2021”

Which means that as Past Me wanted to remind Future Me, today’s an ideal day to take some shade/sun pattern pictures at 6AM, 9AM, noon and 3PM to start in on this year’s shade & sun mapping of the back yard. Continue reading “March 20th is the Spring Equinox”
Rough draft of our garden plans for 2021
If I have learned anything in going on four years of trying my hand at gardening, it’s that it’s not hard for me to come up with plans. What’s hard is narrowing down those plans to a realistic list. So I’m going to try something new this year, which I hope will help us best whittle down our To Do List—which is still awesome to behold.
[Courtesy Notice: This is one of my long rambles so you might want to grab a beverage/snack beforehand.] Continue reading “Rough draft of our garden plans for 2021”
