Its been awhile...

So much has been going on and I wish I'd kept up with it better on her because it's just too much to even try to catch up with. One thing on the horizon is my gardening. I've been trying to learn as much as I can, and have expanded my raised bed and am branching out to grow things in my front yard as well. I have blueberries, raspberry, and grapes going up front. This year we will be doing a large garden at my grandmas like the last several years. We have concentrated our efforts on fixing the soil in years past, from the years and years of fertilizer use my grandparents used before me :) it is coming along nicely, with the help of a technique called Back to Eden. We have earth worms in the soil which seems like a no brainer that they'd be there but no in infertile soil they aren't. But they are now :) I can wait to get everything on and hope for the best. I'm already having issues with bugs. Mild winters will do that! If all works out I will be growing over half our food and trying to put some back in storage. Hopefully... keeping my fingers crossed. LOVE, LAUGH, LIVE SIMPLY...
