Every now and then it’s good to take an overall look around the garden and see how it is doing. Through modern technology we can record it all and one day go back to explore and see how things have changed. With that in mind here is a video of my garden as it appears at the very end of May 2020. It’s been an interesting year to say the least! For your reference so you can see what timing is like in my garden compared to your garden I’m in Middle Tennessee in a zone 7 hardiness zone.

I do want to reiterate from my post yesterday that my experience was insignificant compared to how this flood has changed the lives of many fellow Tennesseans. We are doing fine with very few problems in our yard but please keep those people…
My Vegetable Garden Video Update!

Visiting The Home Land
Monarch Caterpillar on Milkweed
On our land I’ve purposely allowed the milkweed to grow. I want our land to be a haven and waystation for the monarch butterflies as they migrate south.
