morning routine + a tip for small space gardeners


hello! good morning! don't you just love mornings in the garden? i have a little routine around here of eating my morning breakfast (mostly just a bowl of yogurt- waffles are saved for saturdays) with taproot close by & then heading out to the garden.


i always remember my garden boots & jar of scratch for the girls.


the greeting of spring flowers right beside the door lifts my spirits.


i often peek at the radishes, so excited for that one that is just right.


sometimes i harvest greens for our evening meal. arugula is my favorite right now.

& dream of bounties, harvests, hard work & meals to come.
the perfect way to start my day.

before i go, i want to leave you with a tip. this year, luke & i are planting speckled green lettuce within our broccoli bed. once the lettuce is mature, it will provide a lush mulch underneath the broccoli. lettuce doesn't mind shade, which makes these two great companions. try it out in your small space to grow a little more greens & prevent weeds.
