2.18.20 // spring? It’s been a very mild winter here on my zone 7a North Carolina Farm. I have daffodils blooming, blueberries, loganberries and other berries beginning to leaf out. We’ve had heavy rains the past few weeks. It’s been quite odd. Our coldest temp has been the low 20’s so far. Curious to see what the rest of winter will look like here. Anyone else having a strange winter?

2.17.20 // seed starting 🌱 1 • lavender seed, trying the paper towel method. Seeds stratified in my fridge for the past month. Seeds need light for germination. 2 • lemongrass, trying the paper towel method. Seeds need darkness + warmth for germination. 3 • onions, chives & leeks. Sown in mini-greenhouses (old salad containers), watered, and left outside. They should come up in the spring when the temps are right for them. I’ve had lousy luck growing these from seed, I’m hoping this hands off, let them grow when their ready approach will be the ticket to success.

2.15.20 // Valentine’s Day on a farm when you are frugal and don’t like stuff.. Richard helped me build the potting/work/dinner table for our front porch I’ve been dreaming of. All the wood is repurposed. The table top is an old door that was in our shed. The legs are old scrap wood and part of a baby crib. It’s a perfect gift and it’ll remind me of the love we shared valentines 2020 for years to come when I use this table. @homesteadstrong 😘 #romance #thegoodlife

2.13.20 // seed starting 🌱 This winter I’ve been working on perfecting my seed starting. This is the third round of seedlings I’ve done. I’ve figured out the right height for my grow light, when to begin hardening off, at what point certain varieties are ready for life outside and many other insights. We’ve have an usually mild winter here in North Carolina so I’ve been planting out the seedlings all winter, and most have survived. We are expecting a low of 19 tonight, so I’m excited to see how the lettuces and brassicas fare. Some are under a poly low tunnel and some aren’t. Farming and gardening is a life long science experiment and I can’t get enough!

2.4.20 // Egyptian walking onions in action. These are a variety of perennial onion (in zone 7a) that replant themselves naturally! Happy to have this variety in my garden cuz it’s as easy as it gets!

1.26.20 // Sun & Soil Farm 🥰 As I prepare myself & my farm for our first production year, I decided I wanted to change my farm name from “Purslane Gardens” I eventually landed on my new name “Sun & Soil Farm” which fits my farm just perfectly. My husband just completed my new logo! It’s all coming together, folks. 🥰🥰
