A branch of a raspberry bush, with leaves just starting to yellow, has several ripe red Raspberries clinging to the end.
A few clusters of multiple raspberries as they are just beginning to ripening on the branch. A couple of ripe red raspberries can also be seen, as well as lots of green leaves in the background.
October raspberries just hit differently ๐

A raised bed garden overflowing with big, beautiful, healthy, green cabbages.
A raised bed garden box filled with green tomato plants inside a string trellis grid & staked with wooden stakes.
A raised bed garden with lush carrot greens in the foreground, followed by rows of smaller, younger carrot plants, cucumbers growing up a trellis on the right-hand side. Beyond the carrots are some marigolds with orange blooms, then some zucchini plants, and Nasturtium plants at the very back.
A raised bed garden with the leafy greens of Radishes in the foreground (at various stages of planting & growth, and behind them are large green bushy potato plants.
I spent this cool, gray, & misty day outside in my gardens - I'd call it a 50/50 split between actual gardening & taking photos of my beauty-full babes ๐ ๐ฑ

A silver and black laptop computer can be seen at the right-hand side of the photo. Beyond that is the wood framing for some patio windows, looking out into a back yard with green grass, raised bed gardens, a poy tunnel with white plastic sheeting over it, a red chicken coop, and a light sky with lots of clouds.
My day job is a fully remote position, and I am just such a huge fan of the WFH life. Getting to relocate to my patio to work and listen to the birds sing and chickens ba-gock, does wonders for my mood while cranking out reports.

A terra cotta tray holds several seed potatoes that have been cut apart for planting. Each potato piece has one or two long sprouts shooting out of its sides.
Welp. Taters have sprouted

An info graphic titled "A Comprehensive Guide to Yellow Stripey Things" has images of various flying insects that are black & yellow striped. Under each insect is a short list of characteristics of that insect. Most are beneficial insects that don't want to harm or sting people, except for the yellow jacket, who is listed as "just a jerk".
A handy reference as all our friends (not you, yellow jacket) wake up again ๐ ๐

A man in a gray t-shirt and blue jeans crouches down next to a young Plum tree, and pours water from an orange Home Depot 5-gallon bucket onto the ground by the tree's trunk.
A perimeter garden bed has been given a fresh topping of a soil-compost blend, which is all held in by a border of black pvc garden edging.
A garden bed topped with brown mulch had 4-inch tall green garlic leaves sticking up through it.
A raised bed planting box is filled with soil and there are 4 young Blueberry bushes planted in a row inside it.
BIG ol' day of chorin' on the yardfarm today. We sat down & made a list of all the pre-growing-season things to do & I may or may not have panicked a wee bit ๐
But we got out there & started tackling it all & I am feeling far less panicky ๐ฑ๐

The back of a hydraulic dump trailer with the doors open, holding a large pile of gray gravel just waiting to be dumped onto the gravel ground below.
A red chicken coop with white trim is surrounded by a 4-foot wide perimeter of freshly laid gray gravel.
A bed of straw covers the soil of planter of Gotu Kola. A small bright green patch of young Gotu Kola shoots emerges from a spot on the lefthand side of the planter. A black plant tag has white lettering that reads "Gotu Kola. Hydrocotyl asiatica"
The interior of an indoor greenhouse shelving system. On the top rack is several 6-cell seedling trays filled with soil, each with a white plant tag sticking up that has the plant name written on it. Below there is a second shelf of seed trays with green onion shoots sprouting from them.
Just a few quick snaps from around the yardfarm this weekend. Added gravel around some muddy spots by the coop, cheered on the baby Gotu Kola, and got a buuuunch more seeds going. I am so dang excited we're headed into Spring ๐ฑ๐

A metal shelving unit with wire shelves holds trays of soil into which seeds have just been planted. UV plant lights hang over the trays and provide bright light to the soil.

The 2025 season kicks off in earnest, and 100 seeds were plunked into soil today: Celery, 2 Onion varieties, Shallot, and Echinacea. More to do tomorrow!
Anyone else got seedlings going already? ๐ฑ

3 young yellow-green tender daffodil shoots poking up through brown pine mulch.
The sun shining in a clear blue sky, through leafless tree branches of a forest.
Midwinter on the yardfarm ๐ฑ Just being outside & seeing the sun shining bright in a clear blue sky was the dose of winter-blues-busting antidepressants I needed. Then these wee daffodil babes caught my eye and also did my heart some good ๐

Top view of a stack of white paper seed envelopes. The top envelope shows the green Fedco Seeds logo, and a description of the seeds for Lemon Balm plants. The top of an orange tabby cat head is seen sniffing the envelopes.
Sorting through a big ol' thicc stack of gardening sunshine on this snowy Sunday afternoon. These packets of teeny beauties were delivered just this week from the fine folks at Fedco Seeds ๐ฑ
