We have been blessed with some beautiful days this winter. I’m out here trying to make the most of it by getting a head start on what is shaping up to be a long season. This will be the site of our new ‘family’ garden. It’s 1500 square feet and will consist of 7 - 50’x30” raised beds.

If you’re downtown shopping small today, make sure you stop for a nice cup of artisan coffee and a warm up! There are plenty of furry friends there that would love a new home for the holidays! 😺

As I’m putting the finishing touches on my season, I always like to take the time to share some information on leaves.

Fallen leaves that have been chopped up produce some of the highest quality compost available. Trees draw nutrients from deep underground, so when the leaves fall they contain a complete nutrient profile that’s balanced and perfect for all your bedding plants and gardens. This has served as my primary source of fertilizer for over a decade and the results have been outstanding.

Millcreek Compost and Recycling Center accepts leaves at no charge, and they make compost cheap and available every spring.

Do not let this valuable resource go to waste at the landfill, and if you don’t want to bag them you can simply pick them up with the lawnmower and dump them wherever you mulch in the spring.

Thank You to everyone that supported this business this year. My schedule was wall to wall all spring, summer and fall and I can’t express how grateful I am. Have a great holiday season everyone! See you next spring!

Fall clean-ups are in full swing and today was a lovely day to work outside! As I'm going through my accounts cleaning up I'm also using this time of year to plant any bulbs for spring, as well as seed any grass. Fall really is the ideal time to seed grass as the cooler daytime temps and consistent rain allow for better germination and eliminates any early stress brought on by summer heat. By the time spring rolls around newly planted grass has had time to establish and will perform considerably better than if planted in spring.

Thanks as always to everyone for the support. It's been a super busy year and I'm very grateful, but also ready for things to slow down just a bit. If you're interested in getting some bulbs in the ground let me know. We should still have some time before the weather turns.

I've had a number of clients ask about starting a garden, and if there is anything that should be done to get ready for spring. I'd figure I'd take a moment to show you what I'm doing now to get ready for my garden next year.

This is a garden that I started building this month that I have tucked in and prepped to break ground next spring. I've covered the sod with heavy rolled roofing (tarps and cardboard are just as well, just use weights) to keep tight to the ground to smother any vegetation in preparation for spring. I'm doing this now so when I go to install in the spring time there won't be any vegetation on site. This is a huge boost to ease labor and time going into next year. Another advantage to working on a site like this is it will require minimal tilling and can much easier be layered upon without disturbing soil health.

These are trying times and food isn't getting any cheaper. I am here to help if you are interested in creating a grow space to help offset food costs and improve the health and wellness of your family/community. Please feel free to DM me if you have any questions. Thanks for the support all!

I'm super excited for and appreciate any and all new accounts this year.. I didn't think I'd be out here doing clean-ups in September. I'm definitely already looking forward to next year with all the planting I'll have. Speaking of which, with the cooler temperatures coming I'm going to get back into installations as we approach fall. Thank you for your patience if you've been waiting. I'll be out ASAP.

Getting things knocked down and ready for next year!

This transformation was nice to see.

The clean-ups have given way to installations and I'm feeling so much gratitude for the support. We've been completely booked for the entire season so far, and I just wanted to thank everyone that has supported this new business.

I'm going to be offering bedding plants at 20% off for the month of July ($200 minimum purchase), and I wanted to remind everyone that it's not too late to plant as long as we can keep things watered.

Next year I'm going to rebrand and have a more focused approach to things, but to have arrived here after just two seasons is very humbling and I have so much appreciation for the opportunities I've been giving so far.

Thanks again Erie, I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday!

This has been what my spring has looked like mostly. The last several weeks have been such a whirlwind I haven't made much time for social media. I'm still out here getting it and am also taking work for the back half of summer. Stay frosty everyone and I hope you're enjoying this weather as much as I am.
