It’s been a bit since I’ve posted any garden updates on the blog… most of them have been going on our YouTube channel so I thought I’d show you what we’ve been up to:

We’re still in the middle of celebrating Sukkot so there hasn’t been a lot of gardening happening. I have a pile of plants to get in the ground and even more seeds to scatter around.

We have several beds to build and areas to clean up… then we plan to make another hoop tunnel to grow on for next year.

We’ve also got plans to build a new chicken coop and convert to old on for quail. We would also like to add some rabbits soon… hop little bunnies, hop, hop, hop, and stop… that’s one of Shyanne’s favorite songs.

So many things to get finished but there is only so much time in a day. We just ask God to show us what needs done and ask for the strength and patience to see it through. He provides what we need, when we need it so we consider ourselves extremely blessed.

He will do the same for you, just trust in Him and hand your life over. It’s an amazing experience!

God Bless!

A couple of garden walks

I love walking through the garden … especially when it’s a little cooler than those crazy temps we had last month.

It is also more enjoyable when there are no mosquitoes or ants to bite me… here are a couple of garden walk videos we’ve done so you can enjoy the garden without breaking a sweat or getting bit!

God Bless

Fall 2025 Garden Prep

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog2 Comments

We recently did a video showing a little of how we get ready to reset our gardens for the Fall growing season. We are a little behind schedule but I think we have time to get this cleaned up and planted.

We put the chickens to work to cleaning up the kids’ garden area but they are definitely slower than goats were… not a bad thing but I did like having the bigger animals go through first and then the smaller animals for finishing up but we will work with what we have.

Here’s the video we made showing this:

Transform Your Garden with Trellis Beds

I love that I can come up with an idea in my head, put it down on paper, and Mr. Awesome can make it come to life! He has done this time and time again… just AMAZING! My Ube plants were going crazy and starting to take over the greenhouse so I needed to make a place for them to grow. I didn’t have a lot of money to put towards this as our bathroom really needs attention so we spent less than $100 on materials and I scavenged the scrap piles for materials.

While this isn’t exactly as I had planned, as we couldn’t find the lumber I had planned for, it is pretty close and just as AWESOME. I wanted a couple of beds for planting as this area is close to the septic and I didn’t want to take any chances with contaminated food but I also wanted to screen the backyard a little bit as we have a couple of sheds in this area. The solution was two trellis beds with a cattle panel arch to act as an ‘entry’ to the backyard area. It may also prove to be a pretty backdrop for pictures!
