Seedling updates! It’s been a challenging spring for bed prep and transplanting. Every time

Blue sky??? Who is she???

Shout out to for helping me pinch all these grasses

Three hundred pounds of seed potatoes in the ground (that’s over a thousand row feet) AND new plastic on the greenhouse - can you believe these puppies managed to do it all in one day? They deserve a nap!

Photos 3&4 are all the potato ground this year (it’ll be a lot of digging) and 5&6 are greenhouse before and afters.

Taking advantage of the very, very brief break from the rain to aerate the soil around my shallots and onions (including a new variety for ), w**d and thin beets (new product for this year!), and w**d the garlic (not pictured).

Not super into the part of climate change where we just have weather systems that sit and never change (weeks of moderate drought followed by weeks of rain), but here we are. Hopefully some of these w**ds die before it rains again!

What I’ve been up to this week: up potting a million seedlings, transplanting a million onions (and don’t they look like million dollar plants!?!), filling the greenhouse with a million trays of flowers, including five 72 trays trays of annuals I’m just growing for myself for fun (oopsies).

I’m so thankful to be farming right now. Every day in the greenhouse or field this time of year feels like therapy and a balm after the cold and dark of winter. Pretty soon it’ll all be a source of stress and a reason I need therapy, but in the meantime, it’s just a lovely time.

Happy greenup day to all who celebrate! 💚

Got some big, big (infrastructure) plans coming this spring…

And by infrastructure, I mean I’m making ergonomic improvements to the systems my parents built 35-15 years ago.

And by big, big, I mean biggest ergonomic investment for my buck. First on that list is burying waterline out to some of the further fields, so that I’m no longer dragging 5 hoses out to water my crops, troubleshooting why all of a sudden there’s no water pressure, moving the hoses somewhere else, dragging them back to the first field because it turns out it didn’t get enough water, moving them again, realizing there’s a kink somewhere, and then dragging back to the house when I’m all done.

With droughts becoming more unpredictable and intense because of climate change (yes, even though we’ve had awful floods the past two years, the last three springs were droughts), it’s just not physically reasonable to spend an entire day dragging hoses around to water things. It’s also not very time efficient - I’d rather be transplanting and w**ding (or, like, eating lunch, even).

So I’m feeling really, really excited about what it’ll be like in a month when I’m watering my first transplants and I only had to drag one hose around. Fingers crossed it all works half as smoothly as I’m dreaming it will.

Day three of freezing rain and slush…so here’s some photos of the fancy wreath I made for my bedroom wall.

My eucalyptus, new strawflower varieties, and sea oats all did great this past summer, and I wanted to celebrate that in what I made for myself. It smells lovely, too, which is a great bonus.

Same field, different seasons 🌞

I haven’t been much in touch during this winter. At first, it was just that I was so completely exhausted from the mad push of markets and wreath making that happens between October and December.

But then that morphed into general despair and fury at watching an ongoing g*nocide in P*lestine get even more normalized, overwhelmed panic trying to figure out exactly what access to gender affirming care me and all my trans loved ones can expect to lose, and horror watching our food system get even more f*cked (ICE checkpoints, people losing usda funding, getting rid of THE WEATHER PREDICTION INFRASTRUCTURE).

(not enough space here to get into all the firings at NOAA except to say wow can’t wait for my job that gets harder every year because of climate change to get even harder bc we won’t even have accurate predictions of the 100yr floods or droughts coming our way)

Anyway, that’s all to say I’m still here and I’m still planning a great year of growing food and flowers for you all in 2025. And also, I’m still here, I’m still your local trans farmer, I’m still yelling about all the new bad things and trying to help my community and resist fascism (mostly offline).

I start my first seedlings on Friday. I went skate skiing the other day across the same fields I grew onions in this summer. I feel a deep moral and political obligation to farm. I’ll see you all again at market in the fall and we can yell about all the new bad things and help our communities and try to resist fascism together. 🌞

I generally tell people, if you want your wreath to last as long as possible, don’t hang it near a window.

But, if you’re my parents and you know you get new wreaths every year for Christmas and you know you want them hung in the sunny kitchen….who am I to stop you?

I literally couldn’t grow any of this without their land, tractor, and help, so refreshing their wreaths every year seems only fair!

Two arrangements that found happy homes as holiday gifts AND the gift givers sent me the following testimonials:

“My girlfriend loves her garlic swag!”

And (about the wreath), “Mom loves.”

Thanks to everyone who picked out gifts for yourself or loved ones this season. Somehow I’m already prepping for next year (looking at you, seed potato order). I’m planning to do more of an in depth 2024 wrap up/by the numbers in the next few weeks, so stay tuned for that.

For now, let me just say thank you, THANK YOU for all your support this past year. Looking forward to bringing you more flowers, potatoes, and squash in 2025.

Now that the days are getting lighter, here’s my 2024 holiday balsam wreath season wrap up:

108 wreaths (!!!), 2 classes, 4 whole trees 🌲 plus another 3 pickup truck loads of brush cut and dragged, 2 trips to the I-89 Sharon entrance ramp to cut sumac, 4 pickups, and many, many, many, many days of bunching and assembling wreaths (enough to make it through all 15 R.E.M. studio albums on my speaker, plus some).

No, I don’t have a wreath making machine - everything is cut and assembled with my own two hands.

Thanks so much to everyone who ordered this year. When you’re done enjoying your wreath, please save your frame and return it to me so I can reuse it next year!

Save the date - Instagram story sale on Thursday at 10am!

If this doesn’t make sense, here’s how it will go: I’ll post pictures of everything I have left on my Instagram story along with prices. First to claim the piece (by replying to the story) gets to purchase it! When I post the pictures on my story on Thursday, I’ll make sure to post instructions again, so everything is clear.

Arrangements can be picked up in Strafford or Brookfield, or I can mail them ($10 S&H for mailed arrangements). Everything will be mailed out Monday, 12/16, which is before the USPS Christmas deadline.

Let me know if you have any questions, and set those alarms! This will be the LAST time I sell flowers until next Labor Day.
