Every year the garden gets closer to how I imagine. It's a lot of work to get it there, but it has been worth it. 13 garden beds and 48 fabric pots this year (some not in the pictures). Next year I hope to get in some fruit trees. We did blueberries and raspberries this year.
@lisabeesims1 Yeahhhh. The constant complaining is wild. I know this is a dated thing to say, but the Ts1 came out, we were all so enamored by the little things and every expansion was exciting. I guess being disconnected from social media helped and I miss the wonder of ts1 and ts2 days.
@lisabeesims1 So much! Tomatoes, peppers, squash, carrots, peas, beans, cabbage, cauliflower, cucumbers, melons, sweet potatoes, dino kale, a bunch of lettuce and spinach, strawberries should have a good year (as long as the squirrels let us have some).
@Charee991 Oh and extra water and Gatorade. That desert air is dryer than you expect. You won't know you're dehydrated immediately! But you'll seriously have a once in a lifetime experience.
@Charee991 Tent. Camping stove. The winters out there happen fast and they are brutal but summer is hot and dry. It's a fantastic experience. Not far from Boise (couple-few hours) if you need a big city afterward for something.
@Charee991 If you want something more traditional, Harris Beach in Southern Oregon is a good bet. Good amenities and it has cell signal if that's important to you. There are black bears in the area but the park rangers will let you know when you enter the park what to do!
@Charee991 If you camp in a dedicated camping area, park rangers are there to assist with bear fears and give you directions to keep safe. Bears don't usually go looking for people. As long as you keep your food in a lockbox, even if they're around, you'll be fine!
I haven't posted anything in so long, but let me tell you that the garden is beautiful and so is life right now.
My breakfast was 100% top-tier this morning.
A terracotta tomato from the garden (seeds from @rareseeds), the mayo I made last night, and the bread Elliott baked.
