The existence of the greenhouse inspired some intense compulsive seed buying in the doldrums of winter. As a result, I’ve been swimming in seed packets littering every surface of the greenhouse, garage and garden shed. With seeds and transplants making their way into the ground, it feels important that I should finally document exactly what we’re planting here.

Now – sane people might look at that list like “holy hell, that’s way too much. What on earth could she possibly be doing with all that?” But – I’m here to tell you that’s nearly all of it has made it into the ground! This is a fact I’m insanely proud to report because 1) it’s been a ton of work and 2) I only kind of know what I’m doing.
Genuinely, I’m over the moon that we’ve had the time and ability to take on a project of this capacity amidst quarantine, the chicken coop, bottle calves, mowing and tons of other projects. I so looking forward to seeing our garden grow this summer.
