Organic gardening 2025

I haven't been able to do anything in the garden. Between the chickens needing the area completely rebuilt, being sick and the youngest daughter moving back in, not to mention the cold and wind. I'm just really struggling with just getting out of bed in the morning.

My prayers are going out to everyone in the Los Angeles area and surrounding areas. The wildfires are out of control down there. I hope everyone stays safe.

78mph wind gusts

The fire chief said that new fires would start 2 or 3 miles from the first blaze. Often, and with the population density, this was from one building to another.

No aerial response could be attempted with winds like that!

I was watching some of the news on YouTube with my oldest grandson and he finally had to change it because neither one of us could continue watching. So sad to see these horrific things happening.

I'm ready for my dirt therapy. This cold air and wind just needs to go away. I'm getting so many headaches from being inside so much. I still have whatever started on Christmas morning so yeah it's time for dirt therapy.

I was hoping to dig out all of the potato seeds from last year and NO, I found a little area with a few potato plants coming up so now I have to dig them out and put them in a raised bed or a pot. I will try to post some pictures later today or tomorrow

I bought some winter savory, spearmint and mint from the nursery just up the road from me because I couldn't just buy a bag of garden soil. I need to get my butt in gear and get started on the garden otherwise I'm going to loose my mind. It's so cold here now that just waking up is a challenge. We have an HVAC system but it's still too cold to want to get out of bed in the morning. I was truly hoping that this year would be better than last but it's now starting to make me wonder if it's just going to be worse. I keep trying to find a way to be positive about this year, it's just not happening for me. I believe I am going to start doing resin crafting and try selling them just to make a little extra money for making the garden area and chickens area pretty much outlandish. It would be amazingly awesome if I could make it happen.

You should be happy that you can be gardening now. WE have melting snow, highs in the 40's for a week and Then, more winter.
I think you should start some easy to grow seeds to cheer you up!

I agree! I am constantly growing radish, clover, broccoli, and alfalfa sprouts. They are so tasty on sandwiches, burgers, and tacos!
