My garden? Well, yes, Memorial Day came and went. You’re right, that definitely means that the long-awaited time FINALLY arrived to plant a garden in my NEW gardening zone. It’s much colder here than in ATL. Anyway, I have been impatiently awaiting the day after Memorial Day, when it is safe to plant here. I bought seeds, and planted seeds inside in Jiffy pots, and absolutely could not wait for the day AFTER Memorial Day to begin my gardening journey at this Farm.
Oh yes. I’ve dreamed of getting my hands into that old gardening soil, where the previous owners of this farm planted their kitchen garden for years and years. And years. I’m told it is the same place where their parents and grandparents and great-grandparents also planted their kitchen gardens. Last year was a gardening bust for me because I had taken down that line of 12 big white pines between the ancient gardening spot and the barn. And, as a result, there was the enormous mess of those 12 trees left laying right in my garden spot.
This year? most of that mess is gone. Not all, but most.
very encouraging. all around. from good stewardship of the land (chemical free) to young ladies learning how to provide for household to just good ole fun!!! love
I remember Girl Scout camp outs too. Thanks for the reminder of buried memories. The songs, the stoves and we also made chili boo stew. I still have my sash with all my pins and badges. Great times in the late 50’s.
Sounds like a lot of fun! A good chemical free treatment we use on poison ivy is to take a gallon of boiling water, a 1/2 cup of liquid dish soap and a cup of rock salt. Pour it on the base of the plant at DUSK as this is when the plant feeds. It really works. We’ve killed poison ivy plants that were 6″ in diameter strangling our trees. Love your posts!
So very lovely! What a beautiful spot for a girl scout camp out. I have to say I was so worried that you were going to spring a snake story in there. I am sure your garden will be just wonderful and a week or two probably wont matter much this year since our spring has been a little cooler.
You are the hostess with the mostest for sure!!! What a gal to make such a wonderful camping spot. I’d forgotten Boom Chick-a Boom – thanks for the reminder. I am sure the girls will never forget their super fun time. Thanks for doing that, I think there isn’t enough of that kindness. God Bless.
You did a GREAT JOB of cleaning up the area for the campsite, and I don’t know what the other one looked like, but this looks just perfect like you said! Plenty of room for the girls to roam yet be close for fun. Wonderful memories you are making for your daughter and her friends.
Sounds a fun time 🙂
Love the campsite and set up. Looks fabulous 🙂 great job on the clean up
Rebekah! You are such a good sport to make not one, but two campsites for the girl scouts! I am sure that you made lots of great memories, and learned some new tricks [like the cool camp stoves!] that the girls fashioned for the event. You have the most incredible view up there. I bet that it was fun getting to sleep outside on your own property. Love your blog!
