My sweet peppers have been eaten by something. This makes me sad. I shouldn’t have put them out without a milk jug over them… They were so little… Everything else seems to be doing ok. My hot peppers have flowers! I was reading up on the vigil/welcoming ceremony Muin Mound does for people becoming aContinue reading “Gardening, Vigils, and Life Lessons”

Taking Care of Business
Wellspring really motivated me to delve deeper into the study programs I’m working on. I kept making excuses for why I wasn’t working harder. Some of them are arguably valid, such as being tired after work, but I only work for five days out of seven. There are two days that I could easily getContinue reading “Taking Care of Business”
Gardening Update
The cucumbers and peppers are in their pots. I added some companion flowers/herbs to some pots. Transplanted the zucchini into a bigger pot and added a bean. I need more soil. The long container I got for the carrots is half full of soil. I also have a few more pots and will require oneContinue reading “Gardening Update”
Gardening Update
Most of the bush beans are doing well. The largest container is thriving and I already see tiny beans starting to grow. The smallest and medium sized containers have flowers or buds. One of the other medium containers doesn’t look well and I can’t figure out why. My tomato seedlings are coming along. The twoContinue reading “Gardening Update”
I Love Gardening
I found a lovely local and organic greenhouse in Theresa, NY today. It’s called Five Cedars and is a short drive from my home. We spoke with one of the owners – it’s run by a husband and wife – and he was just so nice and welcoming. He gave us a little tour, showed usContinue reading “I Love Gardening”
A Productive Evening!
I’m proud of myself. I’ve been so lazy all week. After work I just wanted to play Civilization IV and watch movies/shows. Not today! I cleaned, sewed, cooked, exercised, and did a little in my garden. Everything in the garden is coming along well. Some of my beans are blossoming. My squash and corn areContinue reading “A Productive Evening!”
Meh
I’m having a “meh” week. I don’t know if it’s my body readjusting to a medication/hormones, fatigue from a busy weekend, the waning moon, or a combination of all of that. I’ve been very lazy outside of work. I’ve managed to exercise a little, water my garden, and began organizing my notes for different studyContinue reading “Meh”
Some photos to share
My altar and craft room has also become a greenhouse. There are various vegetables and herbs here. I have more seedlings that aren’t in the photo. Here’s my “fairy pot.” I put offerings by the statue from time to time. Notice all the brown vegetation from past offerings. It’s how I deal with living inContinue reading “Some photos to share”
Gardening and Relationship to Deity
I’ve been collecting pots, soil, and seeds. I’ve started to plant and have some seedlings. I’ve been crocheting hanging pot holders. I’m awaiting another order of heirloom seeds. Needless to say, I love gardening and I can’t wait to really get underway. The last possible day of frost in the North Country is projected toContinue reading “Gardening and Relationship to Deity”
Seed Time!
I started some seeds indoors today. I’ve got three varieties of beens, a couple different types of radish, some squash, a couple corn seeds (I want to try 3 sisters in a container), and some zucchini. I just ordered some more seeds: slim Jim eggplants, brandywine tomato, ruegen strawberry, oakleaf lettuce, thyme, tender sweet carrots,Continue reading “Seed Time!”
