School is out and I am starting to feel like my ship is righting itself~finally. I'm spending the majority of my time outside and I am VERY thankful I am able to do that.
Below are some pictures taken today on Hidden Acres Farm. As I was snapping pictures I came up with a few questions for you, Faithful Reader. My first is, "Do you plant heirloom seeds? If so, do they grow way slower than regular ones?" I have thrown myself (almost) completely into heirlooms and those little darlings are growing at a much slower rate.
Next question, "Have you ever straw bale gardened?" Again, I have planted heirloom eggplant in the straw bales, and I don't know if it is technique or seed???
Can you help a girl out?
So here goes the tour...I hope you enjoy it~
