Life Update – June 2024

Published on June 28, 2024June 28, 2024 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog1 Comment

Hey everyone!

We’ve been more than a bit busy around here and I just haven’t had a chance to sit down and write about anything… my brain has been in overdrive and my thoughts have been quite a mess but this morning we did have a small window of peace and quiet so I thought I’d sit down and give a little update.

Where oh where to start?

Well, the kids are all doing well. We have had a few doctor appointments but all has been well. We did get one of the kiddos started on a low dose of ADHD medication and what a difference we have seen this past week! It has definitely helped with the moodiness and frequent outbursts… hopefully, she can keep up the progress and not need anything stronger but we’ll deal with it one day at a time.

We’ve been super busy and I haven’t had a chance to check in but all is well here.

We’ve been working super hard in our gardens and yard and the work is paying off as we’ve been eating quite a bit of fresh fruits and veggies that we’ve grown.

Here are a few pics that we’ve taken recently… maybe more than a few but we like sharing progress!

Flooded Gardens and a New Hugelkultur Bed

We had some pretty bad storms roll through here a few weeks ago. We got a lot of rain and wind… our big patio umbrella got picked up and thrown through one of the hoop beds. Thankfully we had no major damage though but we did lose a some fruits off of some of the trees.

The rain caused a bit of flooding in the garden area but we are working on getting that remedied. One of the things we did was to dig some shallow trenches in front of a couple of the planting areas to let some of the water drain away and go to the plants… win, win!

Eclipse Gardening 2024 – Picture Overload!!!

Published on April 17, 2024April 11, 2024 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog2 Comments

We had a great time watching the Solar Eclipse even though we didn’t experience totality. The kiddos did their Morning Circle Routine and then watched a couple of lessons about the eclipse. Then they had a quick lunch as they were so excited to get out and watch for the eclipse.

Our favorite seed and plant sites

We all know that I’ve been a bit hyper-focused on the garden situation here… I may have gone a wee bit overboard but that has not been confirmed yet.

I just recently made a couple of more orders for seeds and plants… there are so many things that I want to try and I’ve really been trying to limit myself to a few new things every month but sometimes there are deals that are just too good to pass up or things that are only in season at certain times. There are also a few items that we are waiting to be restocked so we have to grab them when they become available or we won’t get them at all… so much to keep track of. I like using the ‘Diary’ section of the Gardenate app to help me keep track of some of these things.
