Garlic Goals: Plant Now, Harvest Later

If you’re planting California Early Softneck Garlic like I am, here’s what you need to know:

🧄 Softneck Garlic: Milder, perfect for everyday cooking, stores longer, and is ideal for braiding thanks to its flexible stalks.

🧄 Hardneck Garlic: Bolder, spicier flavor with an edible garlic scape, but doesn’t store as long.

How to Plant Softneck Garlic:

1️⃣ Separate the Bulbs: Break apart the bulbs into individual cloves, keeping the papery skin intact.

2️⃣ Pick a Sunny Spot: Garlic loves full sun.

3️⃣ Soil Requirements: Garlic thrives in well-drained, loose, and fertile soil. Adding compost or organic matter will give it a great start!

4️⃣ Plant Each Clove: Place cloves 2 inches deep, 4-6 inches apart, flat side down.

5️⃣ Mulch and Water: Cover with mulch for winter protection and water well.

When to Harvest: Plant now, and your garlic will be ready to harvest by early summer (June or July), when the lower leaves start to yellow.

Braiding your softneck garlic is a great way to store it and enjoy its mild flavor all year long! 🌱

#FarmSunday Devotional: What God Wants for You

It’s easy to allow ourselves to get overwhelmed and anxious over life’s worries. But, guess what? God cares for you more than you can begin to imagine.

In Matthew 6:25-34, we are reminded to rest in His care, knowing He provides everything we need. Like the birds, who don’t worry about tomorrow, God wants us to be careless in His care—to relax and trust in His plans.

Think about the wildflowers. They don’t worry about how they look, or spend time shopping for beauty—they’re just beautifully designed by God. Most are unseen, yet God takes time to tend to every detail. If He cares so much for these hidden flowers, just imagine how much He cares for you!

Let’s steep our lives in God’s reality, His plans, and His provision. Instead of worrying, we can choose to live in His presence and trust that He’s got us covered. This week, let’s practice resting in His care, remembering that God knows what we need and will provide it.

Read today’s passage
Matthew 6:25-34 (The Message):

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Big City Chicken News! Setting up an Omlet Pro Coop for my city girls! #chickenmama #chickenlover

This morning, I stopped on the side of a country road to pick up the tiniest black and white bobtail kitten. When I stopped, I thought she would run like the wild kittens we often see out here, but instead, she ran screaming to me as if to say, “Take me! Don’t leave me!” And that’s exactly what I did.

🍲 I swung by @tractorsupply to grab some supplies from my buddies, and she ate right in the truck before her vet visit—she was definitely ready for a meal!

💉 At the vet, we found her little body is ravaged with infection and inflammation, but thankfully no feline leukemia. She’s on antibiotics, anti-inflammatory meds, and dewormer now. It guts me to think people would dump animals like this, but I’m so glad she’s a fighter. Now she just needs rest, love, and time to grow.

Welcome to the farm, little one. I always say Lane will kill me for bringing home another animal, but in reality, I know he would have stopped too. I truly believe the good Lord puts these babies in our path for a reason—it’s always been this way—and that’s BombDiggity!

Name coming soon! 🖤🐾

Just finished setting up my new smart coop camera and automatic door, and I’m loving these features! 🐔💻 Now I can check on my girls even when I’m away, and it does so much more! The AI camera detects motion, identifies predators, sends an SOS if there’s trouble, and even gives me a heads-up if all my girls aren’t in for the night or if there’s an egg outside the nesting box. How fun is that?! Plus, night vision and alerts keep me in the know 24/7.

Huge thanks to @The Smart Coop for gifting this incredible setup for iir farm.

#FarmSunday Devotional: Be Salt & Light - Shining the Light and Spreading God’s Goodness

Matthew 5:13-16 (The Message):
“Let me tell you why you are here. You’re here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness? You’ve lost your usefulness and will end up in the garbage.
Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We’re going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don’t think I’m going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I’m putting you on a light stand. Now that I’ve put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you’ll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.”

“Let me tell you why you are here…” (Matthew 5:13, The Message). Isn’t that a bold and beautiful beginning? Our purpose on this earth is simple and yet so profound—our lives are meant to do two things: help others taste and see that the Lord is good and be a light in the world.

The God Flavors of This World
Like salt, we are here to enhance the world with God’s goodness. Salt isn’t just a seasoning—it’s a preserver. In the same way, we are called to preserve the goodness of God in this world. Psalm 34:8 invites us to “taste and see that the Lord is good,” and that’s the flavor we bring—joy, mercy, kindness. When we share these things, we give the world a taste of God’s love.

The God Colors of This World
And what about light? Light cuts through darkness, guiding and illuminating the path ahead. Psalm 119:105 tells us that God’s Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. When we live according to His Word, we become that light—pointing others toward hope, grace, and truth. Jesus says in Matthew 5:14, “You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world.”

Our light is meant to shine brightly, not hidden or dimmed. We’re on display, like a light on a stand set atop a hill. The world is watching, and we must be intentional about reflecting God’s truth in our words, our actions, and our character.

So, this week, let’s go out into the world with purpose. Be the salt that preserves and flavors, and be the light that shines brightly in a world that desperately needs guidance and hope.

This morning I cut into one of the many watermelon tests of my summer. While I’ve grown a lot of things, I never even tried watermelons until this year. Melon after melon just wasn’t right—under ripe, over ripe… who knows?! I had pretty much given up hope. With my hair still a mess from morning chores, I was just getting ready to prep this one for my chickens. But I figured, why not, and turned the camera on anyway. Guess what?! Perfect watermelon! Just when I was ready to throw in the towel, there it was. There’s a lesson here—don’t quit, in life or watermelons. Keep believing and having hope. The small wins, like ripe melons, are all the sweeter because of it. Now, off to brush my hair!

This Sedum plant has been a loyal garden companion of mine for nearly 30 years, following me from house to house, thriving with every move. I’ve split it, shared it with friends, and it still keeps coming back stronger and more beautiful. While they’re pretty all summer, fall is when they really steal the show with vibrant colors that attract pollinators.

Here’s the secret to stunning fall sedum: give them plenty of sun, don’t overwater, and trim them early in the season to encourage thicker growth. They also make for gorgeous and long-lasting cut arrangements! Low maintenance, drought-tolerant, and perfect for every gardener—sedum always knows how to shine! 🍂 ✨ Now that’s BombDiggity!
