I guess a healthy layer of snow will keep the soil warmer. So I guess it’s a good thing to have it AROUND the lavender plants. BUT I’m guessing having the snow on top of the lavender isn’t the best? Or so I’ve read in snippets here and there. The fabric covering is supposed toContinue reading “A blanket of snow to keep things warm?”

It’s time to gamble 🙏🏼
What else does one do in the depths of winter surrounded by the never ending gray/white scenery but shop for $1,000 in plants!? Here’s why it’s a gamble: we don’t know if the $1,000 in plants from last year will survive the winter and the fall trim. I also found a new company to buyContinue reading “It’s time to gamble 🙏🏼”
Saying “good-bye” and see you in the spring (praying for the best!) my little lavender plants 🙏🏼🤞❤️
To avoid watching the news over election results and Facebook to avoid all the drama over the election, I’ve been researching about Lavender and how to care for it. I’ve even created a Google Document with numerous pages to keep track of my current lavender plots, different species and their uses, information on where I’veContinue reading “Saying “good-bye” and see you in the spring (praying for the best!) my little lavender plants 🙏🏼🤞❤️”

Getting ready for a Wisconsin Winter (aka Winter is coming)…
It’s crazy that it’s in the 40’s in September in Southern Wisconsin, but that’s how we operate in the Cheese/Beer State! 🍻 It does make you think of winter arriving and sometimes it happens much sooner than you think! For instance: last year Halloween was ruined for thousands of kids and adults thanks to aContinue reading “Getting ready for a Wisconsin Winter (aka Winter is coming)…”
Social Media Blunders and Mishaps…
I am no expert on Social Media and somewhat familiar with marketing due to my job, so I have to apologize in advance for any blunders or mishaps that happen along the way! Someday I hope to become a farmer in some capacity but it’s currently just experimental. I’m just praying that we find somethingContinue reading “Social Media Blunders and Mishaps…”
One expensive bug!
So here I am writing again after a few months! Who knew a tiny tick would put me out of commission and into the hospital? After working in the grass and fields to plant the Lavender, I pulled a Deer Tick off my thigh. This was in May. My symptoms started at the end ofContinue reading “One expensive bug!”
The Driftless Region of Wisconsin
If you’ve never been to the Driftless Region of Wisconsin, you are missing out my friend! I suggest you put this on your list of potential road trips. To make a looooong story short (glaciers have been around for thousands of years!) the Driftless Region is an area in southwestern Wisconsin, southeastern Minnesota, northeastern Iowa,Continue reading “The Driftless Region of Wisconsin”
