It is exciting to see the changes and even the smallest progress is satisfying. My view is, as long as we keep moving forward, we will get there eventually and when we do … it will be fabulous! Until then, stay tune for more updates!

With the new exterior wall up, well three of them anyway, I decided that a level and more solid floor would be more functional for a Potting Shed. Good idea and I have a vision, not 100% sure how we are going to construct it.

My goal is to get the shed set up before planting starts so I can work in one location.

This combined strategy should make growing and planting a lot smoother and less stressful and make the whole process more joyful!

This has been a very strange fall harvesting season.

Starting the CSA and working with our local restaurants will help us generate revenue for the farm and donating to the food bank allows us to give back to the community!

These are my reflections on what I’ve learned and what I can do better next year. I’m confident I will be adding to this as summer moves into fall and more vegetables are ready for harvesting!

I feel fortunate to be able to partner with Blaine’s Farm Store. So, if you live in Palisade and you want to purchase some fresh produce from the Posh Market Garden visit Blaine’s… Or reach out to me and buy directly from your friendly neighborhood farmer! Either way you support our local farming community and that is always a good thing!

All came from heirloom seeds and are distinctly different visually!

Little events like these are reminders of how wonderful life is and how much there is to appreciate in the world.

I’m confident I will figure out the bug thing as I continue my gardening adventure perhaps a little more seasoned and a little less naïve as I go.

I am reminded of the importance of slowing down, don’t skip any steps and take the time to nourish the roots! Plants are much like people in that regard I think!

For me the joy of gardening and growing things is the connectivity to nature. There is something about having my hands in the earth, the warmth of the sun on my person and hearing nature around me that brings me joy.

Given our society is hard wired for immediate results I’ve always struggled to be a patient person.

Bringing home the bees …. At one point my back was covered with bees!

The joy of seeing greenery on the property, something other than weeds, has also been good for my soul, a real breath of life!

What to do when your seedlings Die!

Andy and I built our first Hoop House during our Spring Break ‘staycation’!

Water is very important to the farming and ag community here in Palisade. Colorado as well as numerous other states rely on the Colorado river for its primary water source. With that in mind, when we were looking at different properties, we always made sure the property had water rights tied to the specific acreage.

Now that the irrigation, fencing, and paths are in, it is so amazing to see what I drew on graph paper turn into reality!
