Took stock of my dried garlic and sorted out the biggest ones for planting.

The mini blue corn cobs were finally ready to harvest! I don’t think I fully grasped just how mini they would be when I planted them 😂 Hung them up to dry so we can hopefully make popcorn in a few weeks

Heard the strangest sound in the yard the other day and was excited to see a cute Downy Woodpecker making a home for themselves. A nice spot to set up camp for the winter. #downywoodpecker #woodpecker #backyardbirds #birdwatching #newhampshirewildlife #birds #newhampshire

Busy busy bees! 🐝

Wrens are so cute 🥰 The tail always gets me

Volunteer plants are my favorite!

Our front flower bed is a sea of yellow right now. Absolutely full of Black Eyed Susans that were a complete surprise.

Yum!

I made garlic scape butter last year and saved it for the perfect moment… only to realize I waited so long that it’s scape season again! 😂 Luckily, fresh scapes are here, so time to finally enjoy it (or maybe make some more)!

Yay, the garlic scapes are finally ready! Been waiting patiently all spring, now it’s time to harvest 🌿🧄 What’s your favorite way to use them?
