Solid Ground: Intentional Living   In a fast evolving world, purpose, direction and clear intention aren’t optional. Without them people can drift into places never intended to land, sometimes getting stuck in the muck and mire as a result.    Time and again, ebb & flow, it’s easy to get swept into situations, jobs and relationships that never matched the real dream. Anyone can grow, evolve and adapt when the desire runs deep enough, though.   Let’s face it, sometimes the only honest way forward is a thoughtful shift by releasing yesterdays comfort. That means never settling again for a safer, smaller version of life that once felt “good enough.”   The past has always been meant to gauge growth. I'm someone who remains present, showing up like the reliable tide, ready, day after day, e...

Nerdin Gardens Humor: Garden Plotting  Grinning Tomato: “Listen up, boys, I heard the carrots are rooting for some drama again. You two in?”   Laughing Pumpkin: “Me? I’m here to squash the competition. But honestly, the zucchini’s been wearing way too much eau de manure this season.”   Mischievous Onion: “Oh please, amateurs, I make the whole garden cry just by showing up and look good doing it.”     Tomato: “Legend.”   Pumpkin: “Absolutely.”   Onion: “Now let’s go make the radishes weep.”     The trio laughed so hard, the nearby honey bees filed a noise complaint and they were all grounded to the confines of Nerdin Gardens 'till further notice!         After coming in from picking blackberries for breakfast, I noticed an onion, tiny pumpkin and heirloom tomato sitting on the counter an...

Nerdin Gardens: Something Really Special Every year, the anticipation of another successful growing season in the back yard home garden gets us excited. My husband aka Mr. Green Jeans, has a way of taking spaces and turning them into something really special, as you can see here.  Ensuring all processes are in place, like adequate water to each plant, bush and tree are essential for uniform growth. Successful gardening also requires being present, remaining diligent through setbacks plus using common sense.  All around us the flowers are blooming and the greenery bursting with gifts to enjoy later this summer. The garden has become a place of rest for us, relieving the stresses that come from busy work week schedules.  Every year the growing list of fruits and vegetables changes for our...

Echinopsis Blooming   In the hush of the desert night, A spiky soul stirs, soft and bright.   Come morning, sweet on sight, Sharing its beauty in pure delight.   Petals opening wide beneath the sky, Then rapidly wilting as daylight goes by.   Short but fierce lifespan, a fleeting show, Echinopsis, how vividly you bloom and let go.   ~Wanda Kubat-Nerdin   The Red Torch Echinopsis cactus blooms twice a year and are very vibrant in color and the size of a dinner plate. The flowers last only a day or so. Other colors of the blooms come in pink, orange, white and yellow!   Their stunning beauty is meant to be seen and appreciated close up! They're everywhere right now, here in southern Utah. We are lucky enough to have witnessed these bloomers in Nerdin Gardens.   Happy gardening all!

Beaver Nuggets?! Oh, How My Mind Does Wander. Kathy Streib wrote a post about road trippin' and packing necessary items to eat and carry just in case. When Iooking in the back of her vehicle, I noticed a bag of Beaver Nuggets. BEAVER NUGGETS?!!! My imagination suddenly veered off, taking a rough dirt road with no destination in sight! I wondered...Could they be food for the eager beaver in preparation for meeting one or a few on the way? Are they made of Beaver meat? Possibly part of said animal's male nether regions? I found myself, once again racing down a rabbit hole in search of answers on these Beaver Nuggets and this Buc-ee's place!  Resolve came through a duck-duck-go search, realizing that Beaver Nuggets are bite-size cheese puffs in a buttery, sweet caramel glaze...YUM!!!

It's True. I Like Talking Sh*t! Nature inspires us daily in Nerdin Gardens and what we learn about dirt transfers straight into southern Utah business, life and everything in between. Tried and true methods really do matter to prevent the crazy sh*t from taking over the garden plot.  Here's my advice for Spring planting: Don't Skip the Sh*t Work
Nature gives us the ultimate means to build strong foundations with elements like, amendments, compost and yes, good ol' manure. Mix the soil early, till it in deep and watch the garden take off, same for business. Prep right or pay twice later on. Stay on Top of the Bullsh*t
Tending daily keeps the weeds and pests from throwing a takeover party. Pull them while small. Good work habits stop little problems from becoming massive. See to your gard...

Whipped Cream on My Strawberries, Thank you! 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓  Last weekend, a fellow gardener and I was exchanging information and told her that my strawberry plants out in the patch looked a little sad this season. She leaned on her hoe and said, "You know what they need? A top-dressing of horse manure. Nothing beats it for sweetness and vigor."  After trying that, it was hard to get the taste out of my mouth and instead, will take a generous swirl of whipped cream on top, straight from the mixing bowl! Sometimes, the best gardening advice is the kind you eat with a spoon. 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓 🍓

Nerdin Gardens: A Resolute Commitment Clematis flowers carry a resilient vibrancy year after year. While not as overtly romantic like roses, they still relay love, devotion, commitment and feel meaningful. A heart-shaped bouquet shows off those vibrant purple blooms.  The Clematis plant’s ability to climb, twist and attach itself effortlessly to walls, trellises, fences represents acute agility, adding problem-solving and artistic talent on top of physical beauty. Kinda clingy, like me! To My Honey, that is. Viney tendrils continuously reach out for support, much like people in relationships who have formed strong attachments. To me, the Clematis expresses a resolute commitment, deep affection and enduring connection.  You may wonder how I know.Because I said so! Tie in to the industry:...

No Ordinary Gardenary Another growing season is bursting with life, once again, our hearts are completely in it, with a sincere commitment and all-natural approach. Bountiful harvests and some truly outstanding salads, salsa, jams, relishes, pickled peppers, pie fillings are the goal!🌱My husband Mike aka Mr. Green Jeans has such a commanding green thumb that the plants practically salute when he walks by. He doesn’t just grow things, he creates magical spaces where everyone wants to sit, relax, and soak it all in. I’m so grateful for his vision!🌱To me, nurturing a home garden feels similar to running a thriving business. You’ve got to water on schedule, feed them essential nutrients so they may thrive, then pull weeds before they stage a takeover. Consistency and follow-through are ever...

Mom said, "Everyone has one!" At first, my young mind thought the saying meant an opinion, then caught on that it was also part of the human anatomy! Mom had a very wicked sense of humor and oftentimes, it bordered on crass and downright unlady-like for a Georgia peach, but she was unaplogetically original.  She was also a petite, stunning beauty that grabbed our father's heart. Six kids in 8 years, plus a move from Minnesota to California ended the love affair and everyone moved to Georgia except our father. He remained in Whittier with the bimbo that helped cause the breakup, she was pregnant. Life was difficult for a divorced woman in the 60's. People often blamed the wife back then, because, "She couldn't keep her husband happy", despite men haphazardly sharing their DNA with hussie...

Dirt Nerd-in We Are! Fierce winds and frigid temperatures didn't deter us from successfully protecting our gardens. Realizing that a freeze would hit early morning, the night before was spent covering the raised garden beds, taking down hanging flowers, hauling the citrus trees inside.  I'm happy to report that little damage occured during Mother Nature's fitfull storm and we are in the process of setting everything back to order.  We're both committed to tending the soil and nurturing the tender plant material.  Yes, we are garden nerds and know it. Our name reflects that very well! Dirt Nerd-in we are!  Real estate industry tie-in: Successful gardening is much like running a real estate business, in that you must protect what is most important, the client. If you fail to do that, the ...

 Nerdin Gardens:   Focus on What Feeds the Soil  After more than 25 years of backyard gardening, we’ve enjoyed many bountiful seasons and learned plenty from the disappointing ones too. Over time, these five practical habits have consistently delivered the best results:  1️⃣.  Tilling manure into the dirt is an all-natural booster that improves fertility. Rich, dark soil results and plants thrive!  2️⃣   Use organic means when ridding pests. Praying mantis and ladybugs fastidiously feed on unwanted bugs. 3️⃣   Growing companion plants like basil near tomatoes and marigolds deter nematodes plus other harmful insects.  4️⃣   Moving plants to different spots every year, like swapping tomatoes with zucchini prevents disease buildup.  5️⃣   Spacing plants carefully means plants don't compete...
