Did you know seeds actually remember the season th Did you know seeds actually remember the season they grew in? Every bit of heat, stress, water, and care gets written into the genetics of the next generation. Today I took the green beans we harvested last year and grabbed seeds that tucked away a little piece of last year’s story for the this one. #seedSaving #seeds #greenbeans

Not a huge harvest of Brussels sprouts—but it st Not a huge harvest of Brussels sprouts—but it still means something to me. There was a time when I couldn’t grow anything, when every plant seemed determined to die, and Brussels sprouts felt impossible. Every harvest, big or small, is built on trial and error, on failing and trying again, on stubborn hope and not giving up. Proof we aren’t perfect and we’re still learning. This little pile is a reminder that growth happens, even when it takes years. #brussellsprouts #learning

Tonight’s farm magic belonged to my boy.There’ Tonight’s farm magic belonged to my boy.There’s something incredible about watching him hold an egg up to the light—steady hands, focused eyes—like he’s peeking into a secret only farmers get to see. Inside each shell, a heartbeat flickers, a tiny life forming in the dark, and he’s the one making sure everything is on track.Moments like this remind me that farming isn’t just about animals and seasons—it’s about passing down trust, patience, and the quiet skills that keep life moving forward.Watching him watch life take shape
 that’s the part that never gets old. #Eggs #hatching #candling
Continuing my belief that if it’s made from scra Continuing my belief that if it’s made from scratch, it’s healthy. Last night I made homemade honey roasted peanuts. It’s made with coconut oil, raw local honey, unbleached pure cane sugar, and salt. Needless to say, I’m addicted. I love honey roast peanuts and I will be making these again and eating them more more because if I made it from scratch, it’s healthy. Don’t destroy my lie. #Homemade #HoneyRoastedPeanuts #RawHoney #FromScratch
There’s a certain kind of work this time of year There’s a certain kind of work this time of year that feels like setting the stage before the curtain rises. Today was all about that quiet, necessary groundwork — the kind that doesn’t shout for attention but absolutely shapes the season ahead. I started by clearing weeds, the stubborn winter survivors that always seem convinced they’ve earned permanent residency. Pulling them up felt like reclaiming the space, letting the sun touch soil that hasn’t seen daylight in months. Every tug released that deep, earthy smell that only comes from land waking up. Between weed piles, I stacked firewood along the fence line — one of those chores that feels older than language. Piece by piece, the stack grew, and the whole area began to shift from “winter leftovers” to “spring readiness.” The long shadows stretched across the dirt like they were pointing toward what comes next. And then came the heart of the day: clearing the 15’ × 15’ patch where this year’s giant pumpkin will grow. I chose this spot for a reason — it’s where we had last year’s cow manure delivered. All year long it’s been breaking down, sinking in, feeding the soil from the inside out. When I raked it smooth today, I could feel the difference under my boots. This isn’t just dirt. It’s soil that’s been quietly preparing itself, transforming into something rich, dark, and alive. Right now it’s just an open square of earth framed by firewood, weed piles, and the mountains watching from a distance. But I can already see the season unfolding — the mound rising, the vines stretching, the daily rituals of watering, feeding, and checking for growth. This is the prologue to the giant pumpkin story. The quiet work before the big reveal. Every season starts with a cleared space, a bit of sweat, and soil that’s been waiting for its moment. Today felt like the first page. #GiantPumpkinProject #SoilBuilding #FarmLife #GardenPrep #GiantPumpkin
