The Coeur d'Alene Coop
I managed to get a little yardwork done yesterday and just couldn't compost these gorgeous peony stems. A few spent hydrangea blooms added a nice touch. It was good for my soul to create this. Sure, it's going to fade, but for now, I'm loving it. ❤️Don't overlook the beauty in all seasons. 🍂#thecoeurdalenecoop#fallwreath#naturalwreath#madewithlove ...

Heirloom tomatoes 🍅🍅
Organic gardening 🥕🌶
& Urban chickens! 🐔🐓

And neither are we. The garden has been neglecte And neither are we. 

The garden has been neglected these last few weeks, but even without constant care and water, it has thrived and is still producing. 

Look at those Potato Leaf Yellow tomatoes @nctomatoman, it's October 15, and there is still big green fruit on the vines. 

Our gardens are so much more resilient than we think. And, I've learned that I am also more resilient than I thought possible. 

💪🍅
