Thanks for the progress update? Hey are you planting anything exotic? Do you have a map for your garden or is that overkill? Thanks so much Erin!

Thanks for reading, Britt! I'll have to look through my seeds to see if anything qualifies as exotic. I generally do a rough sketch for each year's garden plan. I'll post this year's soon. And maybe previous years' if I can find them.

Enjoyed every word of this post! So clever how you connected Candlemas/the liturgical calendar and its history to gardening/rhythms of the earth, growing daylight and the planting calendar. Also your photos are dreamy.

P.S. That 10 year DIY leap from groundhog shadow on a cardboard box to cosplay Mandalorian helmet from upcycled cardboard is truly notable. But I wish I didn't know about the scroll thing. So silly. That is not the way.

Thank you so much for all the compliments! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Haha, no the scroll is most definitely not the way!

I adore this whole post. Vehemently disapprove of the scroll deciding our fate.

Thank you! Haha, yes too important a decision to leave to the tap of a paw.
