How's your garden growing? Apparently, mine is growing cats! 😸Mid-July is when little problems begin to appear. Catch them early, and they'll stay little. Ignore them, and they'll happily remind you of who's in charge!In my latest article, I share 7 questions I ask myself every time I do a mid-season garden checkup. They're simple questions that help keep plants healthy, productive, and growing strong.Peeps in The Coop Community got it in their inboxes today, along with a very handy cheat sheet on harvesting garlic and shallots! 🧄Want the same? Come garden along with me and join the Flock (it's FREE). Read the article: 👉 https://thecoeurdalenecoop.com/midseason-garden-care/ Join the Flock: http://eepurl.com/g2QHkj ... See MoreSee Less

& Urban chickens! 🐔🐓

What gardener doesn't love a blank canvas? This be What gardener doesn't love a blank canvas? This bed hosted spring peas, shallots, and lettuce, all now harvested.

What to do now?? 🤔

Since we still have weeks of great growing weather ahead, I added a bit of compost to the bed, gave it a thorough watering and will be sowing carrots down the center and Chard around its border. 

🥬 What are you succession planting?
