My Blog Info

This blog is open to anyone who wants to chat with me. I am an eccentric person and talk about a wide variety of topics. It is a varied blog in which I discuss spirituality, family, parenting, greener living, composting, organic gardening, home remedies, pets, reading, various crafts, natural remedies for both cleaning and health, cooking, preserving our harvests, and life in general.

About our garden: I have 3-4x12 raised beds maintained in the square foot garden method started as lasagna style soil in the boxes. We have also added a wide variety of fruit trees and bushes throughout our yard, as well as strawberry, rhubarb, and asparagus beds. Recently we also added a vineyard with one of every type of grape that I could fit into the limited space that we have. I have added herbs throughout the landscape and grow a wide variety of both edible and non edible plants. It is my hope that the plants will benefit from the planting arrangements that have been made when I attempt companion plantings for them. We live in northern WI among the pines so sometimes I discuss cold climate gardening as well as dealing with shady conditions and sandy soil.

I love to hear your feedback, so please feel free to leave me a comment. No spam though please!
