Spring Planting Continues…

March 29, 2020 J.Everheart2 Comments

I’ve been trying to grow a vegetable garden for a few years now and haven’t had much success. I think this might be the year I’m able to grow a decent amount of food, an amount that would impact my grocery bill. The past few years of failures haven’t been a waste, though!

October 17, 2019 J.Everheart2 Comments

This summer we added a Holland Lop rabbit to our family. We found her on Craigslist and she came with her hutch. We got a rabbit to make poop/fertilizer for the garden. Rabbit poop is “cold” fertilizer, so it can be applied directly into a garden bed without composting it first. It’s been about a month… Continue reading How Our Rabbit Helps Our Garden

In my first post I shared how I have come to see my suburban yard as a blessing instead of a curse. Instead of moaning about not living on a homestead in the country, I can make do with what I have and turn my tiny piece of urban sprawl into a haven for bees,… Continue reading Suburban Lawn to Nature Preserve, Part 2

How Your Lawn is Ruining Your Life

October 17, 2018October 17, 2018 J.EverheartLeave a comment

I live in Suburbia. I don’t care for it much, but I’m married to someone who thinks it’s the bee’s knees, so we’re staying for the time being. One of the things that drives me crazy about living in the ‘burbs is the lawn situation. Every time my husband spends money on something ridiculous like… Continue reading How Your Lawn is Ruining Your Life
