Every Sunday I post some of my favorite blog reads and pins from this week just in case you need some additional reading material. At the bottom a little update on the Foothills Homestead.
My absolute favorite thing this week was watching one of my favorite singers talk with Oprah on Super Soul Sunday. Worth every minute!
And as a newbie I enjoyed reading 7 Things Every First Time Gardener Should Know
Interesting concept on using all of the plant, including the seeds!
Jennifer gave me some inspiration with her Flea Market Garden
Foothills Homestead Update:
Last weekend and this week have been pretty busy.
- We’ve reseeded the lawn for the 3rd time in the last 5 weeks this week. Grass is definitely starting to grow and we’re so excited! I’m going to do a grass update post soon.
- The fall weather is finally starting here in the Upstate of South Carolina and just in time for football! We’re hoping it will stick around.
- We’re still putting together new furniture but a lot of the storage in the closets is built which has created a lot of space for things in boxes to go. YAY!
- I ordered a kombucha starter kit this week and we started our first batch of Kombucha! We’re so excited and I’ll be reporting on how it goes once we have some results.
- Fencing is up and looks great! Denver is loving his big backyard. However, soon he’ll have to give up some to a garden!
- There’s still so much to do that it’s completely overwhelming but we’re just taking it one step at a time. I’m hoping to work on the garden beds in the next few weeks so we can start direct composting for Spring.
