🌸Without great solitude, no great work is possible🌸Pablo Picasso⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Planning the farm is hard work, ya'all! It's like a giant sudoku puzzle. I've sequestered myself away from the general population the past few weekends (lotsa coffee☕️, not many hair washes🙈🤷🏼‍♀️). Taking breaks to look at pictures from last year's growing season helps. I miss peonies!⁠⠀

🙋🏼‍♀️Nerdy PSA🤓: Invest in yourself📚! Does reading that make you cringe a little bit? If so, you're not alone, me too🤦🏼‍♀️ Not bc I don't think I'm worth it (I'm a self-improvement junkie, so I know WE ARE ALL WORTH IT🤣), but bc I'm stubborn, hate asking for help, & think I can figure everything out on my own. And honestly, most of us can, but at what cost? It's sooo muuuch haaarder & costs us our most-valuable, non-renewable resource: our time! Going it alone also means you miss out on meaningful connections.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
So, when Matt & I decided to give this whole farm thing a real try, I went against my natural stubborn instinct😬to figure it all out on my own, & signed up for a workshop (#floretworkshop2020). This was not an easy decision for me. I like to think I know a thing or two about growing, but I need a lot of help w season extension, succession planning, & sales/pricing. It was a big investment, but consuming Erin's work for quite some time, I knew it would be worth it. And IT SO IS. Not even half-way through, & I've learned in weeks what would have taken me years on my own. What I wasn't expecting was the additional invaluable knowledge from the growers on the support team & fellow classmates🙌🏻 & making connections with growers in my area!⠀
⁠⠀
So, not that I'm anyone who should be giving out advice, but if you're on the fence about investing in yourself, you got a solid GO FOR IT from this gal! And that might not mean monetarily. Maybe that means investing your time to take a free course, renting a book at the library, or joining a group where you’ll learn & connect. Are you investing in yourself this year or maybe considering it? Let's taco bout it👇🏼⁠⠀

Dusting off my seed-sowing spreadsheet for the veggie garden👩🏼‍💻🤓. First up is artichoke, starting early-mid February🌱. My favorite variety is 'Imperial Star' because it produces well-developed artichokes the first year from seed (a must in our zone 4 climate). I can't believe the 2020 season is here🤗! What are you sowing?!⁠👇⠀

Frozen sunrise over the field I dream will one day be filled with restored pollinator prairie and a small portion dedicated to cut flower production🌻🦋🌸🐝. We have our work cut out for us for many reasons, but one big one is our SOM (soil organic matter) at the new farm. It is crazy low and will take time to build up, but we're up for the task💪. It’s a foundational step that cannot be overlooked (I only know from experience growing in poor soil many moons ago 🌚🌱). Once I get the new farm site up and running, I will share more behind the scenes of this process in hopes it might help someone else trying to increase organic matter in their soil (maybe that's you too😅), and why it’s so important! There's a lot of work ahead, but dreams are the seeds of change, so I let myself dream big and hope you do too 🌈 :) P.S., are you looking for ways to increase soil fertility or are you sitting on a plot of black gold? P.P.S., yep, our Christmas lights are still up🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

The chickydoos are on strike (very few eggs these days, those freeloaders🤣), so I'm trying to visualize eggs into reality for them by looking at old photos🧘‍♀️🙂. Have an eggsciting weekend, friends! .

🌸Color Me Floral🌸⁣
⁣
Z4 WI winters are frigid, ya'all🥶! Everything is sleeping under a blanket of snow. I don't mind, though, because it forces me to slow down and I have more time to bury my nose in books. I'm trying to take in all the knowledge I can before the growing season takes off🤓. I love books with all my heart, and this gem from @tulipinadesign is no exception! Major inspiration🤩. Although my seed orders are pretty much done for the coming year, I've been known to add some to my cart last minute🤫, and this read might nudge me over the edge! Where do you get your garden inspiration? Any good books, websites, or accounts I'm missing out on?!⁣

Sharing one of my all-time favorite purchases of 2019🌻🤗! If you haven't checked out @prairiebotanicals , go do so right meow and get yoself one . . . or 4, like me! @finding.kind presses treasures from nature onto these roller bottles, and I can't stop gawking at them🌿🌻😭💛. You can get them without essential oils OR you can have Mareah create one for you, which I highly suggest bc her magical synergies blew me and my gals away✨. Aside from sharing the magic of nature with her creations, Mareah is a breath of fresh air and a constant source of light in my insta feed☀️💛. I wanted to share here sooner, but these were Christmas gifts, and I didn't want to spill the beans🤣. I also only unwrapped one to photograph, because they were packaged with so much care and detail, I didn't want to wreck them with my grubby paws. Seriously, love👌💛.
