Zinnias, Eggplant, Tomato, & Pepper started today. We've had a very cold Spring. Have learned not to plant too early, especially because these plants will be in protected spaces after graduating the greenhouse. A coven of fig propagation went in, too.

Dinner in green and orange. Overwintered root vegetables are quite the tasty spring treat.

Just finished re-transplanting 100 additional volunteer garlic starts. If they do well, it means we'll have 300 heads of garlic to harvest. 150 for the larder & kindred; the rest will go to the food bank.
I earned my shower and my chore kombucha today.

If it doesn't fall in the realm of Earth Care, People Care, or Fair Share, I ain't doing it.

This is going to be a first (for winter); w/ improvements to the Poultry barn recently, the Ladies have just kept on laying and we'll be able to donate to our fav food bank some fresh Covenstead eggs. Sharing the bounty of the Land is so magical.

Winter garden tips: If you're like me and are still moving plants to their forever home (hey, I'm just 1 crone)... you might want to think about staking & extra mulching (no volcanos plz) to give them a nice foundation and winter blanket. #OnTheCovenstead #WitchSky #PermieWitch #VillaWestwyk #Grow
Local arborist dropped off a dump truck of wood chips for me. It's like an early Yule gift! Applying permaculture to my Land-tending means A LOT of material management. Happy to help a fellow small business person while helping. #VillaWestwyk #OnTheCovenstead #PermieWitch #WitchSky #WitchMadness.
8 ears of corn in a wagon
It's been a rough year for growing corn, mostly because we're still building space to grow food. But this is the earliest corn, so hopefully with the other plantings we'll fill our larder. #OnTheCovenstead #PermieWitch #WitchAlt #GrowFood
Pressing cider today is like food-nerd nirvana. I seriously feel honored and privileged to have this abundance to have to 'work' on a Sunday. #OnTheCovenstead #HarvestCreations #WitchSky #PermieWitch

Last night's harvest and how it lent itself to dinner. Chard, cabbage, kale, carrots, green onions. #TodaysHarvest #OnTheCovenstead #PermieWitch #WitchSky #GreenWitch #KitchenWitchery #WitchAlt

What this part of #WitchSky was up to today: finding bees in peculiar places, harvesting raspberries, and brewing cherry vinegar.

This year's blueberry harvest(s) is the result of five years of work. Success as a Permie Witch is a special kind of sweet magic. #OnTheCovenstead #Witchsky #PermieWitch
I know trying to turn 2 acres into a magical permaculture food forest is a bit fanatical, but I can't think of a better thing to 'leave' the world.
