A litte Summer Soltice garden glow up 🌱  Swipe➑️ for some baby seedlings on the Spring Equinox.

Every spring, I think there's no way my wee seedlings will be able to fill up all the beds. And every summer, I've proven wonderfully wrong. The garden is magic and I feel so blessed to get to help steward it.

The longer I garden, the more I feel called to lean into observing natural cycles and milestones like the Solstice. It feels like tapping into ancient wisdom for how our ancestors organized their lives. On the Solstice, I pause to observe and be thankful, to celebrate with friends and prepare for the garden work of the next few months. Perhaps I'll plant some sunflower seeds today.

Are you celebrating the Summer Solstice?

Spot the friend 🐝 🌻 I haven't quite finishe Spot the friend 🐝 🌻

I haven't quite finished it yet, but I'm working on a bed along our fence line with five different varieties of sunflowers and celosia. It faces the spot on the patio where I sit and work through most of the warmer months, and it's gonna be πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘Œ.

This is a Velvet Queen from @hudsonvalleyseedco I grew last year – and am definitely growing again!

Celebrating #TomatoTuesday with the first fruit se Celebrating #TomatoTuesday with the first fruit set of 2022 πŸŽ‰

These are blue cream berries, and last year my first fruit was from the blue berries variety – clearly @wildboarfarms know what they're up to.

Last year I picked my first ripe cherry on the 4th of July. I think we're a bit behind that pace this year, but we'll see!

How go your tomatoes?
