Spring is just around the corner and that is just…exciting!

For me, this Winter feels like it is dragging on a bit, but I guess it always feels that way when we get to this point in the season. I remember last Spring we were all just getting used to the idea of lockdowns, closures, and cancellations. With all the uncertainty, there was a short period where our Real Estate market slowed (or as close to slow as you can imagine in this craziness) and I found myself with more time on my hands.

Inspired by the sun, longer days, and a homesteading and survivalist book we bought, my fiancée and I decided it was a great time to grow some veggies at home.

I have done my own veg gardens off and on for a few years now. We navigated the learning curve of curbside pick-up from the hardware and co-op stores and got the supplies we needed to build 3 raised boxes - a great teambuilding exercise!

I always get satisfaction from picking and eating our own produce and the thrill never gets old. I can’t say we were overly successful but we tried and we were able to have a few dinners supplemented with our own produce. It does taste different, it tastes better! Maybe I will post some pictures as we get working on our plan for Spring 2021.

If you do not grow your own produce, you will have to visit some local farmer’s markets this year and buy some and do the taste test for yourself. We have a lot of local farm stores up here in beautiful Grey Highlands in Grey County if you’re up for a little drive.

Whatever you are looking forward to this Spring, I hope you are successful and if you a ready to make a spring move, I am ready to help!
