Looks awesome! Love a productive day in the garden!

Something new for me this year: I let a few of my small fall cabbages overwinter, so that they'd go to flower this year & I can collect them seeeeeds. So far, so good! 🌱 #localonly #zone7a #smallfarmlife #veggiegardening #seedsaving

A green cabbage growing in brown soil. Its leaves are spread open, rather than in a typical tight cabbage head. In the center, a tiny cluster of flower heads are just beginning to show.

A raised bed garden with gray gravel walking paths. The garden bed in the center of the photo has several white plastic arches attached to it, which are holding a fine mesh white fabric draped over the whole bed, to protect the cabbages from destructive cabbage moths.

Peas & Strawbs remain unscathed from the frosty temps, but the taters have a wee tinge of frostbite. Nothing they can't bounce back from, but if we can kindly be done with the freezing night temps, that'd be great 🌱 #localonly #smallfarmlife #veggiegardening #freakinfrost

A strawberry plant's green leaves and white flowers surrounded by straw mulch. The plant is healthy & was not damaged by last night's frost.

Little young potato plants just a few inches tall, in a bed of soil with some straw. The green leaves curled in on themselves, and have a light coating of frost on them where the bedsheets that were covering them got wet with evening dew, then froze.

Green grass and flowering ground ivy all covered in a coating of white frost.

We've amassed quite a collection of old sheets, blankets, and tablecloths over the years that, in their retirement, have become both painting dropcloths & blankies for wee babes in unpredictable April weather 🌱 #localonly #veggiegardening #smallfarmlife #frostwarning #friggincold

✢ 𝔼𝕡𝕙𝕖𝕞𝕖𝕣𝕒𝕝𝕤 ✢ An appreciation post for those things of beauty which are short-lived by their nature, that force us to be mindful in seeking them out, and to stop and simply enjoy their enchantment 🌱 #localonly #gardensky #bloomscrolling #greenwitch #ephemeral #natureisawesome

Close-up of a Virginia Bluebell plant growing in the dappled sun of the woods. Its pink & purple blooms dangle like little delicate bells above it's lush green leaves.

A swath of Virginia Bluebell plants, growing amidst the brown leaves of a wooded area in early spring. The sun peers through the trees of the surrounding forest, streaming rays of light between the branches.

The bright, vibrant green leaves of wild Ramps growing up from a bed of brown leaves & branches in a forest floor.

A vibrant rainbow arcs over a treeline, it's colors appearing all the more brilliant due to the dark grey clouds behind them. A very faint 2nd rainbow can be seen above the bright rainbow, near the top-right corner of the photo.

Spent the first taste of springtime-type temps of 2026 in the greenhouse, both stewing over the latest fresh hell that is the news today, and embracing the tradition of spring cleaning in preparation of starting fresh new life 🌱 #localonly #zone7a #smallfarmlife #greenwitch

A 3-tier metal & wire shelving system, being prepared for seed starting. 2 shelves have plastic sheeting covering them, and LED plant lights lay on the shelves, waiting to be set up. The windows behind the shelving unit look out to bright blue skies & plenty of sunshine.

An orange & white cat lays on a water-catchment tray on a shelf inside the small metal greenhouse that will be used for seed starting. He makes himself at home, cozied in the warm sunlight.

Stacks of black plastic plant pots sit on a clean stainless steel countertop, waiting to go into a hot, sudsy bath to be cleaned prior to being used this season.

Thank you! 😊 We don't heat it currently; it's actually where we grow all our berries. We pull the plastic off both the ends in the summer months, cos behind the plastic is chicken wire. So in the heat it can breathe, but birds & deer are kept away from our fruit!

Hubs hooked me up with a custom snow remover for the hoop house (duck taped a push broom to an extension pole). Worked like a charm! 🌱 #localonly #smallfarmlife #gardensky #snowday #witchsky #greenwitch

Photo of a hand in a knit winter glove holding a very long pole with a wide push broom head on the end. The ground all around is covered in snow.

Photo of the entrance end of a hoop house (AKA polytunnel) surrounded by a thick blanket of snow and snow still falling heavily from the sky. There is no snow piled on top of the hoop house, however, because it was all removed with the extension pole broom.

Yes, a worship service is sacred. So is the image of God in your immigrant neighbor. So is the image of God being dragged from his home in his underwear on a snowy day. So was the image of God that bled out for 8 minutes while being refused medical care.

I am one of those folks who, in January, is in no rush for winter to end. I appreciate & embrace the cold & the dark, and let hibernation mode fully have me. Plus the snow is just so dang pretty. I'll be singing a different tune come March 1st, but for today, winter is a welcome friend.

A picture of a Rosemary bush in an outdoor garden, covered in several inches of white, fluffy snow. Only the very top branches of the plant can be seen poking out of the snow. Text on the photo reads: "Stillness is the flower of winter; all hope waits beneath a blanket of white." A quote by John Muir

Propagation Station™️ set up on the kitchen table, ready to rescue some overgrown succulents, while 3+ inches of snow is piling up around the farmstead. 🌱 #localonly #smallfarmlife #gardensky #snowday #plantlady #greenwitch #witchsky

A variety of overgrown, messy potted succulents and houseplants sit on a blue tarp covering a table, waiting to be cleaned up & propagated.

4 tall evergreen trees stand together across from a snow-covered clearing, with their limbs gently weigned down by the 3 inches of white snow clinging to them.

Been a hot minute since I've shared a garden update here; our schedules have been maxed out & we've been riding that ragged edge of total burnout. Thankfully the cool crisp Autumn air has finally arrived, & we're staying busy with fall chores. & October is one of my absolute favorite things 🍁🍂

The view down the central path of raised garden beds. Most of the beds have buckwheat cover crop poking up through a layer of straw. Marigolds still bloom, and green bean plants hang on even though some leaves are brown & wilted from the first frost. A wicker basket, ceramic bowls, and large rubber bucket are filled with today's pepper & green bean harvests. Some chicken friends can be seen in the background, wandering around their run.

2 raised beds with green buckwheat poking up through a layer of straw are in the foreground. The neighboring bed has broccoli & cabbage growing happily under insect netting. In the background is another row of beds with blooming calendula & buckwheat.

A bed of thriving calendula flowers, blooming in shades of golden yellow to pinky-peach

Aw, that's a bummer! I have friends who are in the same boat; they've switched to singing bowls & the like. We've got options! ✨️

Moonstruck Meadows @moonstruckmeadows.bsky.social · 31/07/2025

I totally recommend it! Just be sure to wrap them reeeaally tightly since the herbs shrink as they dry. Good luck!!

Moonstruck Meadows @moonstruckmeadows.bsky.social · 31/07/2025

This round was freshly-cut herbs, but sometimes I'll let them dry just for a day or two before bundling them up. If they're completely dry, they just crumble while winding the string around - makes a big ol' mess! But smells great! 😊

Moonstruck Meadows @moonstruckmeadows.bsky.social · 31/07/2025

😊 thank you! I typically use/sell these for smoke cleansing, but because these beauts ended up being elongated, I totally thought of them as wands, too! Multi-purpose!

Gah, squash vine borers are a constant pain in our neck! We've been pretty good this year about checking every day for eggs, nymphs, & adults, and killing them by squishing or drowning. As a last resort, we'll spray the base of the plant (not leaves or flowers) with BT; not 100% effective, though 🤷‍♀️
