Hang in there, brassicas. One more week until you can spread your roots into the ground. 🌱

Dear seed starting newbies:

If you’re like me, this will fall on deaf ears. I dont learn ANYTHING the easy way. I have to make all horrible mistakes myself before I learn a lesson.

That said, it took me YEARS to be comfortable thinning out my baby seedlings. You drop a few seeds in a hole of dirt “just in case” and they all sprout. You tell yourself you’ll thin them and leave only the strongest but then when it comes time to do so, you find yourself legitimately emotionally attached to the plants. You get crazy trying to separate and pot up each little potential life, blowing through potting mix and greenhouse space like no other and even though your 50 cell tray of tomatoes is already ten times too big for your garden, you are committed to turning it into 150 tomatoes by separating them, for some reason. The reason being you refuse to snip a life you started. They are just BABIES, they haven’t done anything wrong yet! This is no bueno. Just kill the damn plants, self.

Well I’ve learned the hard way by now and one of my favorite greenhouse chores is shearing off cells too crowded. I am the god of my greenhouse. I say who lives. I say who dies.
And the fact of the matter is, some of you must go. There’s only room in my garden for the best. 🙂

Listen up little critters of the world! I do a lot for you, ok? Like, an unreasonable amount of work to make sure you’re safe in my yard. But I will not - I repeat NOT- allow you to eat my ripening strawberries without permission. This is your official notice of store closing from 7pm to 7am from now on.

When it feels like I’m just treading water, at least there’s last years garden photos to remind me how much better things can get in a years time.

•I’m so proud of the raingarden, that weird kidney bean along the sidewalk. It fixed a runoff issue we had, gave me a chance to explore shade friendly native flowers and support the MMSD raingarden plant sale.
•Somehow adding a clunky pallet fence really helped the yard feel bigger. Before designing urban gardens, I learned all the interior design rules and just started applying them outdoors. Sectioning off areas to define spaces is a pretty basic concept.
•The Greenhouse still makes me look rich. That feeling doesn’t fade I’m learning.

Now, I do spend windy storms wondering exactly when the ancient maple tree we re-fenced around is gonna come crashing down and ruin everything. But until then- we persist!

Unknown - 9/10/19: caterpillar
9/11/19 - 6/2/20: chrysalis
6/2/20 - Unknown: Black Swallowtail Butterfly

We did it! We overwintered a chrysalis for 9 months, successfully. Which was a lot like being pregnant, to be honest, but without the baby shower. No one bought me “congrats-on-your-chrysalis-it’s gonna-be-okay,-I-promise” gifts.

Food is Free MKE has kept me incredibly busy. When I started trying to organize the effort better and planning for this growing season, I had something else in mind than the insanity that is currently life. (Didn’t we all, though?!) I knew food access was an issue, but this is a new depth of despair. Hence, the Pop Up Pantry. And depths of despair require a certain attitude from a non-profit with community improvement goals: I am being kind, patient, social, receptive, helpful, encouraging and supportive. Or at least I’m trying. These things do not come naturally to me. Naturally, I’m a hermit. Ive been called “as cold as the dead” before. And I don’t think any of my neighbors even realize that. From the outside looking in it probably seems like I’m a people-person. Starting the Milwaukee chapter of Food is Free has been an exercise in personal growth. I’m trying to be a better neighbor, a kinder person, a human who helps humans, less introverted. And it’s working, it is! I’m becoming a better version of myself. But it’s so tiring, and I just wanted to confess that to someone. I’m so tried I can’t even think of words to type anymore. So here’s greenhouse photos instead.
And hey, thank you for listening to me and allowing me to speak freely. 🙂
