40 days till spring…

Middle of winter 2023 preparing for our second season. Removing fallen trees and opening up shade on some southern exposures. Placed occultation traps to prep gardens to double our growing space. Decided to spend time on workshops and classes this winter to try to further knowledge and experience I was lacking. Completed a cut flower production course with Cornell small farms extension. Half way through Floret’s 2023 Flower workshop and started an internship with Uconn’s Master Gardener Program. Even signed up with Barn2Door to see if they can offer insight or help with branding and marketing. The realization I am starting to see and feel success is going to happen from within. Not from pointers, advice from others, nor from sitting at a computer passively listening, but by bringing energy, passion to what ever the task is in front of me at that moment. Be focused and plan to fail. My failures teach me more, unfortunately than any workshop, or course I could ever take. Just, need to be able to survive, myself and work towards the goal. Working with nature and growing beautiful flowers and produce with honest intent for sustainability, to bring something to life for a community is what I can accomplish.
