The BADen Homestead

02/24/2026

This cabbage has survived heat, neglect, snow, ice, and cabbage worms.
Honestly, I think it deserves a medal… or at least a rock anthem. 🏆🌿

Anyone else have plants that just won’t quit?

The flowers are thriving. 🌸
The garlic is struggling. 🧄
The strawberries are… thinking about it. 🍓
Gardening keeps me humble. 🌿💛

Flowers with a purpose 🌼🐝

When I first started gardening, I just planted what looked pretty.

Now?
Every bloom has a job.

Marigolds to help protect the vegetables.
Nasturtiums to draw pests away.
Sunflowers to feed pollinators (and my soul).
Milkweed for the monarchs. 🦋
Roses because beauty matters too.

This little homestead garden isn’t just growing food — it’s growing life.

Pollinators.
Beneficial insects.
Butterflies.
Balance.

And honestly?
Watching it all work together feels a little like magic.

Do you plant companion flowers in your garden?

Oh, the sweet and unimaginable joy of harvest. 🌱
(Spring 2025)

Picking your first bean.
Pulling a radish from the soil, still cool and earthy in your hands.

Proof that patience, care, and a little faith can turn seeds into sustenance.

This season is reminding me that growth doesn’t rush.

Tiny sprouts. Waiting potatoes. Quiet work happening beneath the surface.

I’m learning to trust the timing—mine and His 🌱🙏

If you’re not sure where to start, start small.
One pot. One seed. One loaf. One prayer.

You don’t need perfect conditions or a master plan — just willingness and a little faith.
Growth comes from showing up, not having it all figured out. 🌱
