HARVEST NOTES FROM THE WILD GARDEN
This garden is my altar, my apothecary, my remembering place.Each plant a teacher. Each season a story.
I spend time here with the plants, learning what they need and listening for what they teach.
This space grows slowly, in rhythm with the seasons and the small rituals of care.
This is where I keep track of what’s growing, what I’m learning, and what feels worth remembering.
Surprise April Snow
April 20, 2025
Surprise April snow.
Calendula, chamomile, Mexican marigold, yarrow, and mullein seedlings are hanging in there by the window.
Nettles, St. John’s wort, mugwort, and tobacco are holding up just fine.
I’ll keep checking on them & turning trays.
Holding off on putting anything in the ground for now — about three weeks to go before May planting.
Garden Blackberry & a Bed of Wood
May 7, 2025
The blackberry is the only thing in the ground right now — steady and green, holding its own after this week’s surprise snow. Everything else is waiting, gathering strength on windowsills and in trays. I’ll plant the rest next week, under the full moon.
My friends built a raised bed from old wood scraps — a little crooked, a lot perfect.
Spring’s moving slow this year, but it feels like everything is quietly rising into place. The garden will tell me when.
