Wow. Now that my year is coming to a close... I really haven't updated this much at all! This year I've really been more of a "doom scroller" but watching all the gardening and cleaning videos. I haven't been making many of my own. Mostly that's because I was SO BUSY THIS YEAR.
I did the U of MN Extension Master Gardener course. I volunteered 50 hours - in elementary schools, at info booths, at a plant sale, farmer's markets. It was so much fun! And not only did I do the whole course, I also ended up doing an extra 12 hours of continuing education - mostly regarding vegetable gardening and also teaching grades K-5 gardening and plant science. It was really fun and I'm so happy that I applied and was accepted. I really enjoy volunteering in the garden world and I have really loved meeting so many other garden nerds like myself.
So now that the hard part is over and I'm not constantly reading about biology, pesticides, how-to grow books, and identifying problems, I'm so ready to get back to sharing what I'm doing! I'm usually good about sharing Stories on Instagram but I've noticed people migrating over to TikTok and I'm not sure I can get myself over there. At 41, I'm feeling like I still belong on my blog and on Instagram.. LOL
So stay tuned. I'm going to start planning my garden for next year with a whole new breadth of knowledge and I will be so happy to share!
