5 Ways to Prep Your Garden For Winter

Gardening, No Comments

Life is too short to spend chasing after things that don't really matter. It should be filled with sunshine, nutritious food, good community and lots of laughter. Can I get an amen? Several years ago, we decided to pursue a different kind of life, one contrary to the normal standard we were used to. We moved to the country, bought a 12 acre homestead and began a journey to be more self sufficient. Through tears and a laughter we are blazing our own trail towards a life filled with purpose. We grow fruit and vegetables on our 3 acre market garden, raise chickens and heritage pigs, and are slowing making progress toward restoring our 102 year old house back to its former glory. Its not a glamorous life we seek, but an authentic one, and our hearts are full. Make yourself comfortable. I'm so glad you dropped by. Sean
