I have learned a lot and ultimately closed my Etsy shop so I could actually do something other than work. You see it&#8217;s not easy to work full time and run a business after work. I missed my life and my garden. So what now ? Well, with the world as it is, quarantine and COVID-19, perhaps its time to go back to the garden, pick up some old hobbies and get back to blogging!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"498\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200415_073712-498x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2890\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200415_073712-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/?attachment_id=2890\" class=\"wp-image-2890\" srcset=\"http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200415_073712-498x1024.jpg 498w, http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200415_073712-146x300.jpg 146w, http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200415_073712-768x1580.jpg 768w, http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200415_073712-747x1536.jpg 747w, http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200415_073712-996x2048.jpg 996w, http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200415_073712-scaled.jpg 1244w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 498px) 100vw, 498px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"498\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200415_073707-498x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2891\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200415_073707-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/?attachment_id=2891\" class=\"wp-image-2891\" srcset=\"http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200415_073707-498x1024.jpg 498w, http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200415_073707-146x300.jpg 146w, http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200415_073707-768x1580.jpg 768w, http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200415_073707-747x1536.jpg 747w, http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200415_073707-996x2048.jpg 996w, http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200415_073707-scaled.jpg 1244w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 498px) 100vw, 498px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">Nanking Cherry Bushes &#8211; Top Protected, Bottom Exposed<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I just love my Nanking cherry bushes, and with a heavy frost due, I thought I should try an experiment. I covered most of the bushes with a tarp and left a few flowers exposed. Just as I thought; It appears the exposed flowers (on the bottom) might be damaged, and therefore are unlikely to produce the cherries I love. The flowers on the top look unscathed. I guess only time will tell if covering them makes a difference. I&#8217;ll keep you posted on that later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"498\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200415_073520-498x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2892\" srcset=\"http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200415_073520-498x1024.jpg 498w, http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200415_073520-146x300.jpg 146w, http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200415_073520-768x1580.jpg 768w, http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200415_073520-747x1536.jpg 747w, http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200415_073520-996x2048.jpg 996w, http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20200415_073520-scaled.jpg 1244w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 498px) 100vw, 498px\" \/><figcaption>Second seeded row.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A few weeks ago, I planted some broccoli, swish chard, pak-choi, and spinach.

If you scroll down far enough you&#8217;ll see the original hoop house I made six years ago. It ultimately was knocked over by the wind, and at that time I had just met my soon to be wife, so the hoop house took a back seat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I saved the &#8220;bones&#8221; of the hoop house, and I&#8217;m reusing them now. This iteration is meant for propagation &#8211; the cloning of plants from cuttings. Here I hope to continue my experiments rooting new plants including blueberries, Nan-king cherries, and many flowering bushes. I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll touch on that again later this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"498\" src=\"http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20191025_141638-1024x498.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2894\" srcset=\"http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20191025_141638-1024x498.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20191025_141638-300x146.jpg 300w, http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20191025_141638-768x373.jpg 768w, http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20191025_141638-1536x747.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/20191025_141638-2048x996.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>David Brown 885<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I have lots of other items to fill in the gap I&#8217;ve left here, from about 2015 to 2020, lots of changes, lots of growth, and plenty of tough projects.
