I just wanted to let you all know I have decided to retire from Marty's Garden and the online world of gardening. I want to thank everyone for their support over the years. Everyone has been awesome and it's been an amazing journey of over 15 years I will close this account in a couple of days. I recommend that you reach out to any new friends and get their details so you can keep contact with them. Sending lots of love to you all. Marty & Sherly

😬 I'm happy enough to starts a Facebook group if anyone wishes to stay in contact

Hi all. With the sad new of @Marty Ware retirement and the hub closing. I decided to make my own. It’s called Home Grown Gardening. Hopefully Marty will join to and visit us there. Hope to see you all there. Here’s a link https://www.skool.com/home-grown-gardening-1164/about?ref=a106e22b1dcd443389c8e6f24403855f

I’m trying to manage my time even better this year as I have several volunteer roles to keep up with. I decided to start a daily vlog to manage several areas I share (inspired by the hub!). I’ve called it my Small Steps Often Journal. So happy that my first sunflower bloomed to welcome in 2026 too 🌻 ☺️ Today is day1/365 of 2026. Can you believe it!?? I’ll share my progress on the Tomato and Chilly Challenge. Anyone else started their new years goals today?

Just got of the phone with my beautiful bride only to find that when I get back not only do I have to finish my large round garden bale project, but now I have to build some new fencing and a revamp on a chicken coup. Seems I have inherited in my absence a female emu, 2 jersey heifers, 4 alpacas and unknown number of chickens. My only natural response was with my natural sarcasm was. “Was it to difficult to just find a partridge in a pear tree” and yes she knows me well so it was just laughter and time I get to put you to work, god I love my queen.
