I’ve been a bit disappointed in my garden this year. My husband has been encouraging me to view the things I’m disappointed about as data on which to base future decision making (rather than as devastating personal flaws). So, in that spirit, here are the things I have learned so fa...This entry is about Katxena's Tiny Farm garden.

This journal mentions breasts, so if that offends you, move on. I’ve been thinking about how I grew up around gardens and how important it is to impart that to the next generation.
