Most people spend all spring growing onions… then lose them because they skip this step.

After harvest, onions need time to cure before storage. We simply spread them out on a rack in the garage, keep a fan moving air across them, and let the tops dry down naturally.

Once those necks are completely dry, they’re ready for long-term storage.

This year we grew Patterson onions and couldn’t be happier with the harvest. Looking forward to enjoying these for months to come.

I used to hate on raised beds.

I thought they were expensive, overhyped, and honestly unnecessary when most people can garden in-ground with native soil and some compost.

But after years of gardening… I changed my mind.

Not because raised beds magically grow better vegetables — but because they make gardening more manageable, organized, and enjoyable for a lot of people. Especially in smaller spaces.

Less bending.
Better soil control.
Easier w**d management.
And they can look really good integrated into a kitchen garden.

At the end of the day, the “best” garden setup is the one that helps you stay consistent and keeps the joy in gardening. 🌱

What’s your take — raised beds or in-ground? ⬇️

Most of the time—it’s moisture.

This is how I fix it.

We had a big section of our garden we just weren’t using anymore.

And honestly… we didn’t want it going back to grass and w**ds.

So instead of just letting it go, we wanted to plant something that was actually beautiful. Something that added to the property, but was still beneficial.

So we planted a wildflower meadow.

Not just for the look—but for the pollinators, beneficial insects, and overall health of everything around it.

We planted it in late winter… and now it’s starting to fill in.

These are perennials, so this will come back year after year.

And the crazy part is—it’s really just getting started.

Super low effort, but a really solid return.

Honestly one of the better decisions we’ve made on the property.

If you’ve got unused space, this is worth thinking about.

A few shots from the garden after spring rains. Our perennial permaculture swale is really showing out right now. Pea and oat cover crop is growing strong. And we are absolutely loaded with blackberries!
