Garden Journal Weekly, 24th May 2022
There is always so much to be done in the garden and sometimes it can feel overwhelming if you think too much about the scope of what needs to be done. So it was lovely to read this little blog entry from seasoned gardener @goldenoakfarm where she outlines just taking each job at a time and observing what nature gets on with as different flowers begin to bloom with the warming weather. I also recommend reading how she makes her mentioned soil amendment, which she did earlier in the week.
Lots has been happening at the @ligayagardener's place to, as he prepares it for winter in the south. I enjoy how he talks about his garden with its living eco system and bringing attention to the environment and even culture that surrounds it and us. I feel like I'm now beginning to think like a garden.
@apanamamama gave me some food for thought as she discussed why they decided to get rid of their goats from the homestead. My curiosity was drawn in because I mostly only see articles extolling their virtues, but circumstances are different for everyone as are experiences. It's always good to see another side to things before making decisions on adding animals.
From @samstonehill comes an abundant, bumper gardening update, with growing, harvests, meals and cute kittens galore. Who'd have thought so much could happen in just one week!
Having moved to Nova Scotia, @juliakponsford has been able to really start on her gardening journey. It was lovely to tour through the garden in discovery mode as she learns about new things with growing, foraging and finding the existence of new edibles.
Thank you for joining me, I hope you enjoy these features as much as I did. This week I've chosen @momogrow to receive a beneficiary for delegating to the @gardenhive account, along with @goldenoakfarm and @apanamamama.

You can use the tag whenever you do a garden post.
awesome... lots happening this week. planted heaps... Chicken coop has roof beams... we have new hanging baskets. collecting horse poop this afternoon.

Thanks for including my post about our goats! I really did enjoy them, but the time put into them just wasn't worth it for me! Maybe if one of the kids gets interested in the future, we could consider getting some again. The sheep are pretty easy to handle, so we may keep them for a bit! I appreciate the mention!
I hear you. I've had to make similar decisions myself, so I usually try to weigh things up better before committing to something else now. It doesn't always work, though. 😅 With you already having a cow for milk too, then there isn't even the rain to keep for milk either.
True - I tried milking the goat and got maybe a cup (although the babies were still nursing often). We decided the gallon and a half we get from the cow much better suits our needs...
And then tonight the sheep gave birth to twins! The fun never stops around here!

Thanks for checking out my post, @minismallholding. I think of everything in life as gardening so am happy I nurtured a sprout in you to get you thinking like a garden!
It's always informative and a pleasure reading your posts.
Awwww thanks!
Ditto, @ligayagardener always has such great posts and food for thought!
And they're all about food , in their own way!
That goat and kittens just made my days. This is again another great weekly journal. I love it.
And it's a happy birthday to @samstonehill as well! Heading off to read why the goats are banished...
Dear @minismallholding, we need your help!
The Hivebuzz proposal already got an important support from the community. However, it lost its funding few days ago and only needs a few more HP to get funded again.
May we ask you to support it so our team can continue its work this year?
You can do it on Peakd, ecency, Hive.blog or using HiveSigner.

Your support would be really helpful and you could make the difference! Thank you!
