The Woodland Gardener
Home gardener, growing in southern Ohio (zone 6). Join me as I strive to make the most of my organic garden here on our 4-acre homestead. I'll share my plans and experiences with you as I focus on:
+ Growing vegetables
+ Improving the quality of the soil
+ Landscaping, primarily with native plants
+ Dipping my toes into permaculture and food forests
Thanks for stopping by!

Back to the garden soon. In the meantime, sharing a few pics from our recent trip to celebrate our 20th anniversary! Hope you're all doing well. I missed my garden while I was away and even ordered a few plants while vacationing. 😂. What's going on in YOUR garden?? Comment below!

We're getting a full day of gentle rain!!! Just what our parched earth needs. Other than a few light sprinkles, seems like we've had only a couple real rains since mid-June. 2024 brought one of the worst droughts in our area in decades, I've read. Love seeing the wet ground and hearing those raindrops.

My beloved yucca plant. It was here when I moved in and in the 12 years I've been on this property, I've seen it bloom only 3 or 4 times. It did almost bloom another time but the deer chomped it down before it could open up. It's worth the wait 🥰🥰🥰

If you saw my last video, then you know I'm still organizing my seeds and as promised, I've pulled aside a few more of my favorites from last year to share with you. These were either very prolific performers (Tachi and Sun Gold tomatoes) or just plain delightful surprises (Sunstripe squash, Ghost peppers, Blacktail Mountain watermelon). What were your favorites from 2022?

Even though we had some way-too-early snow this past weekend, my beets and radishes did fine. I'm pretty new to growing these, so maybe that's to be expected??
