It's still a bit early for gardening, but here's a post about.... a post! This is one of the barnyard fence posts, helping to keep the calves Larry and Moe safely contained. It's a cedar post (probably Thuja occidentalis), and sports a lovely crop of British Soldier lichen (Cladonia cristatella) on the top.

"The only constant is change" This quote is one I trot out constantly, and once again it is proving appropriate. Lately I have been dealing with some family issues involving my parents and their farm. As a result, I have decided that I am no longer able to fit in landscape installation work, and will be transitioning my (non-farm) business to garden design and consultation only. I appreciate all the opportunities to create and work in wonderful yards and gardens over the years, and look forward to lending my knowledge and creativity to projects large and small.

Best regards
Jeremy
