47 peppers, one outdoor prep session.

Some for this week’s meals, some frozen for later, and the rest roasted into green pepper sauce.

Prepping outside hits different.

What’s your favorite veggie to batch prep?

Left the flock alone for a single day.

Now there's a council of hens, a flag, and a chalkboard labeled "PECKING ORDER."

They're forming committees.
Send snacks. And maybe a peace treaty. 🐔💼

Chickens hit 7 weeks today and had their first taste of lettuce! 🍃 Took nearly an hour of suspicion before they gave in 😂 They're growing so fast.
Proud chicken momma over here, learning a lot as I go 🐓
Anyone else remember their flock’s first treat?

Another day, another garden patch cleared—daffodils are getting a new home and I’m slowly chipping away at the chaos. Still a long way to go, but progress is progress. 🌼

What part of your homestead is calling for attention?

Rolled in at 4:30 AM after a road trip.

The sky said “welcome home.”

Mystery plant in the garden. No idea who invited it. Thriving like it owns the place. Any guesses before I give it a name and a room key? 🌿🕵️‍♀️

Moved a whole patch of daffodils today — yep, early 😅
Spaced them 9" apart for lambs ear, planted 6" deep.
They weren’t ready… but my garden layout was.
Sometimes the rules bend for the bigger picture. 🌱🌼
Ever do a “dig now, bloom later” move?

Moved my daffodils early 🙈 They weren’t ready, but I needed the space. Spaced them 9" apart (lambs ear’s going in too), 6" deep. Might lose a bloom or two next year, but that’s gardening. Anyone else make bold garden moves for layout’s sake? 😂🌼
