Healthy Gardens attract Beautiful Visitors!

🦋🌿 A Little Butterfly Magic at Register’s Roost! 🌿🦋

Something beautiful is happening around The Roost! ❤️

Our garden isn’t just growing fruits, vegetables, and herbs — it’s becoming a little sanctuary for some pretty amazing visitors!

🐛 We’ve been watching swallowtail caterpillars munch away on our fennel.

🦋 We’ve spotted beautiful butterflies stopping by for a little nectar.

💚 And we’ve discovered chrysalises tucked among the greenery, getting ready for their incredible transformations!

One thing gardening continues to teach us is that not every caterpillar is a pest, and not every chewed leaf is a problem!

Sometimes those hungry little visitors are tomorrow’s beautiful butterflies. 🦋

We’re learning to share a little of our garden with nature, because a thriving homestead is about more than just what we harvest.

🌻 Grow a garden. Feed the pollinators. Enjoy the magic!

💬 Garden friends, do you leave your caterpillars alone or move them to a special butterfly garden?

😂🌿 Well… apparently I have a mascot now. Meet ROOSTIE! 🐔💁‍♀️

She’s got the sunglasses, the attitude, a drink in her wing, and absolutely no intention of minding her own business. So basically… she fits right in at Register’s Roost. 😂

Around here, there’s always something happening—seeds getting planted, chickens supervising, gardens expanding, something brewing in a jar, and me coming up with one more project that I definitely have room for. 🌱🐓🍅

Roostie’s official motto says it all:

“Plants, Plans & a Little Chaos.” ❤️

Although I’m beginning to think “a little” might be false advertising. 🤣

🐔🌿 NOW IT’S YOUR TURN!

Ask ChatGPT to create a mascot that represents YOU and your personality, then drop your picture in the comments! 👇😂

I want to see what everyone gets — and no cheating by picking your own mascot. Let ChatGPT decide! 😆

Who knows… Roostie may need a whole crew. 🐔😎

🌺 Roselle Harvest Day at Register’s Roost! 🌺

This is one of those harvests that makes all the watering, waiting, and watching completely worth it. ❤️

Our beautiful roselle is coming out of the garden, and now the real fun begins! We’re removing the seed pods and getting those gorgeous ruby-red calyces ready to dry.

Roselle is such an amazing plant. Those beautiful calyces can be used for tea, jams, jellies, syrups, sauces and more. And yes…we’re already dreaming up what this batch is going to become! 🌺🫖

But there’s something else special in this picture. ❤️

“LOVE YA BABY”
Growing food. Preserving the harvest. Making memories. And remembering the people who helped shape us along the way. ❤️

From our garden to our kitchen — this is life at Register’s Roost. 🐔🌱🌺

🌿🍋 Cold & Flu Season at Register’s Roost 🍯🔥

When the sniffles start making their rounds, I love reaching for some of the simple things we keep here at the Roost.

One of my favorites is a warm cup of mullein tea. 🌿 I make mine with:

🍃 Mullein
🍋 Dried lemon peel
🤎 A cinnamon stick
🍯 A spoonful of local honey

Warm, soothing, and perfect for sipping.

And right beside it? A jar of our homemade fire c***r 🔥🍎 — another traditional favorite I like to keep on hand during cold and flu season.

Right now, mullein tea and fire c***r are my go-to homestead comfort remedies. There’s just something special about growing, making, and using things from your own garden and kitchen. ❤️

🌿 Grow it. Make it. Know what’s in it.

Herbal preparations are traditional wellness practices and aren’t a substitute for medical care.

Around here, flowers aren’t planted just because they’re pretty. 🌼🐝

We’re adding dill, fennel, yarrow, sweet alyssum, cosmos, calendula, borage and cilantro throughout the gardens at Register’s Roost to help attract pollinators and beneficial insects and create a more diverse garden ecosystem.

And here’s the fun part…

🌱 These plants start over at Three Chicks & A Yard Boy, where the plants and seedlings are grown.

Then they make their way to Register’s Roost, where we put them to work alongside our vegetables, herbs and flowers.

Different ventures. Same roots. ❤️

🌱 Three Chicks grows it.
🐔 The Roost puts it to work.

Which one should we plant MORE of?
