Transformation

Just marked one year in our little farmhouse. This little house was built in 1923. The date was embedded in the cement with small pebbles. At one time it was surrounded by hay and lily fields. We are surrounded by storage units because the owner of the property saved this little farmhouse. At first we had doubts about living here but now our surroundings are like a blank canvas. We have worked at turning this into our sanctuary, our secret garden. We feel blessed to have a place to grow things once again. Had a WOW experience when we looked back at the before and after photos. And what fun it was to create this.....

Tuckaway Farm ~ One of the places we have had the privilege of caring for.

Welcome!

Just getting started with our new blog.  Thanks for your patience! We were privileged to own and work on our own farm, Dreamweaver Farm and Gardens, for many years. Larry grew up on a cattle ranch in Nebraska and always dreamed of making a living from the land and so in 1989 we decided to move from simple gardening, which we had been doing for years, to farming and selling at Farmer's Markets. We started out growing on a hillside where we were caretaking at the time. That fall we tilled the soil, terraced and planted a green manure crop. That served us well until 1993 when we decided to move to 20 acres that had never been worked. We wanted to grow organically and this suited us perfectly. We began clearing the land and tilling the soil with a borrowed tractor, building raised beds, fencing for deer. It was long days from daylight till dark and it was a labor of love.

The property owner decided to do something else with the property and we were forced to leave the farm in 1996. Since then we have been house and ranch/farm sitters. Over the last few years we have been blessed to care for gardens and farms for other folks; often sharing in the harvest. This blog is where we will share from our journals of many years about what we learned being stewards of the land at DreamWeaver Farm along with stories from our travels.

Good Container Ideas!

A few thought about where to start planting your garden this spring.... spring is in the air! I realize some of you folks already have your gardens in but up here in the northwest we are just getting started.  

Another Great Idea!

Here is a great use for a recycled shoe organizer..... herbs or lettuce, pansies or petunias.
