If you haven’t followed us on YouTube, then you are missing out on what we’ve accomplished in our garden over the past month. We have been busy little bees getting ready for our new garden season. The cold had killed a lot of our plants, so we took advantage of that and replaced most of our beds with some new metal beds. You can find links for those HERE:

We don’t have our tractor anymore, so that meant we had a lot of digging to do, and boy am I glad that part is over! There was a lot of hard work and a lot of sore muscles! We just did a little each day, and we are finally finished. I’ve started planting out a few things, but I am waiting until mid-March to get the more sensitive plants out.

Here’s a video to show you some of what we’ve been up to:

Beginner’s Garden Guide: Growing With Faith & Confidence Printable

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog1 Comment

I’ve been meaning to do this post for a while, but like always, LIFE keeps happening, and things I want to do get put on the back burner. I’ve been setting small goals as I’ve talked about in previous posts, and working on things a little at a time until they are finished.

The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.

-Genesis 2:15 KJV

There isn’t one perfect way to start a garden, but I do have a few tips to help you get started. That’s the most important part… just get started! Remember, you aren’t stuck unless you STOP! People have been gardening since the beginning of time… it really doesn’t need to be super complicated, unless you make it that way.

I do plan to make a more detailed guide that includes permaculture principles, but this is a super beginner friendly guide to get you started.

LOVE is our theme of the month, and we are working on learning ways to show LOVE other than just telling someone that we LOVE them. Our kids have brainstormed some fun and budget-friendly ways to show LOVE for others. We want to learn to create memories without spending a fortune.

Monthly Garden & Animal Tasks

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog4 Comments

I know it is January, and it may seem a bit early to think about gardening, but I need to get plans in place before life gets more chaotic.

In an effort to simplify my tasks and create a more peaceful routine, I had already made up a file card system… the problem is that I keep misplacing it as it doesn’t have a true home yet. I will attempt to outline the major tasks in this post, so I can access it from anywhere 🙂 You may feel free to use it or copy, if it suits you.
