π± Well... I guess it's time to let the cat out of the bag.
For quite a while now, whenever I wasn't making jelly, working in the garden, or getting ready for markets, I've been working on something that's become one of the biggest projects I've ever taken on.
I'm writing and illustrating a book called...
The Garden War Chronicles
A Beginner's Guide to Organic Gardening
Somewhere along the way, my garden took on a life of its own... and I decided it was time to tell its story.
If you've ever battled weeds, chased squirrels out of the garden, celebrated your first tomato, or wondered if Mother Nature was taking things just a little too personally... you'll probably feel right at home.
Around here, organic gardening is powered by coffee, stubbornness, and the occasional mild weather-related rage.
I'm not quite at the finish line yet, but I'm getting closer every day, and I finally wanted to let all of you in on what has been keeping me so busy.
Over the coming weeks, I'll be sharing a few behind-the-scenes glimpses, sneak peeks, and introducing you to some of the unforgettable characters who have taken over my garden... and maybe my imagination too.
Fair warning: The vegetables may not be as cooperative as you've been led to believe. π€£π½π₯
I can't wait to share The Garden War Chronicles with all of you.
