While everyone else is talking about summer harvests, I’m already planning for the next season—and now is the perfect time for you to do the same. If you live in Southwest Idaho, July is when many of our favorite cool-season vegetables need to be started for an abundant fall harvest. Think crisp lettuce, sweet carrots, spinach, broccoli, kale, beets, and more. I just published a new blog post that walks you through: 🍂 What to plant now 🥕 Vegetables that thrive in fall 📅 Timing tips for our local climate 🌿 Simple ways to extend your harvest well into autumn Remember, one of my favorite sayings is: “Start small, grow slowly.” Even if you only plant one raised bed or a few containers this season, you’ll be amazed at what you can harvest before winter arrives. 👉 Read the full blog here: https://graydayflowerfarm.com/blogs/the-gray-day-collective/fall-vegetable-gardening-in-july-for-southwest-idaho After you’ve read it, come back and tell us: 🌱 What are you planting for your fall garden this year? Let’s inspire each other!

I’ve been putting off making my center raised bed. So this week I made the time to move some plants that needed it and placed them in the raised bed and now I’m on the hunt for a pump to make a water fountain out of my urn in the middle. Can’t wait until it fills up. Thank goodness it’s going to cool down this weekend. Now to try to keep the dogs from rooting around in it. 😜

I have had to give myself grace this last week. My son had surgery and nighttime has been really hard. So doing the bare minimum has been all the effort I can give my garden, house and self. So remember. It’s all about the rhythms in your life. Start small, grow slowly. 🥰

I am growing a bunch of baby trees and veggies this year for the first time!
