Before seed packets and planting calendars, gardeners looked to the land itself for guidance! When lilacs bloomed, beans went in. When dandelions appeared, potatoes followed.

This time-tested practice—called phenology—uses nature’s seasonal cues to tell us when conditions are truly right for planting. By tuning in to blooms, bird migrations, and leaf-out times, you can garden in rhythm with your local climate and plant with greater confidence each spring.

"Tracks"
Footprints of a fox lead across a frozen lake while the aurora lights up the night sky. I like the resulting photo, but I absolutely loved the experience of being there. That's the reason I enjoy photography so much. It's not just about capturing the moment. It's about experiencing it.
