Growing a Garden & Healing My Soul

Last year I was off to a good start, but things quickly changed and we were getting ready to welcome a new child into the world- so I decided to put all my energy into my health rather than my garden. Honestly, it really hurt mentally- the garden is my place of peace and where I can see my hard work flourish. To not have that definitely took an emotional toll on me and I decided to change that.

This year I decided to go all out and grow as much as I possibly could- I started seeds indoors in a mini greenhouse- but most of the seedlings I started in the later months in an outdoor greenhouse. It has been super-hot here in Maine but despite all of that, my garden is thriving even in these later months when we start to say goodbye to summer.

I am grateful for a husband who supports my hobbies and even helps out when I need him - I am also incredibly grateful for the little minis I have who love to spend time watering and harvesting in the garden. We are all growing together and that is so healing to my soul.

Here’s a look at my garden progression throughout the months- Enjoy!

There will definitely be a lot of changes and upgrades for next year’s garden, but for now, I am enjoying what I have. Thanks for coming along with me!

Happy Harvesting~

saying goodbye to Summer..

This past Sunday marked the first day of Autumn, which is such a bittersweet thing for me- although fall is my favorite season, I almost ‘mourn’ the loss of the garden and being able to soak in the warmth of the sunshine on a daily basis. It’s always worth the hard work and effort, but fall clean-up is a dreary time for me.

I spent a lot of time making art this month and didn’t spend too much time on my phone- but I hope you enjoy what I did capture this month!

Welcoming Autumn with lots of pumpkin, warm baked goods, cozy blankets and all the snuggles.

Cheers,
