Friday 5: Take me to the old playground

giant boxes on a pallet. not pictured: Kim's simmering doubt that this will fit in the proper room and her sinking feeling that her craft room will be completely overtaken.

Happy Friday! It’s GORGEOUS here today. The weather inched into the low 70s. I took Murphy for a walk at lunchtime, and after work I planted garlic and lettuce outside! Tomorrow it’s supposed to rain. And Sunday we’re vernal equinoxing!…

Angry Man Farm 2022 – IT BEGINS

peat pots, ready for seeds

In case you happen to be new to this old blog, Angry Man Farm is simply our garden. Many years ago WM and I noticed that farms have such lovely, bucolic names like Lone Pine Farm or Running Horse Farm….

Virgo SZN. Yay.

Yeah, I’m still here, slowly picking up the daily rhythm again of chores and routine and limping through the rest of what was not a great August. The squirrels are stealing the large tomatoes from my garden while they’re still…

In March, I started some seeds for this year’s garden. Out of everything I planted, I emerged with: One sage plant One lavender plant Five moss roses that look barely viable Two cauliflower plants Five jalapeno peppers Five sweet pepper…

Angry Man Farm 2021 – The beginning

Like many of the things 2020 brought us, last year’s garden adventure was a bust. The squirrels (possibly a raccoon?) ate almost all of the corn before it fully ripened. Our herbs were hampered by a very late frost and…

Angry Man Farm 2020

(celebrating one year of success!) In the middle of all of the abnormality and fear, the days grew longer and springtime returned. It seemed weird planning for a future in a world that seemed so dire, but I’m not going…

Angry Man Farms 2019: Outside

So much has changed in 3 weeks! Thanks to this bonehead WM had to make some modifications to the raised bed. The front screen is removable so I can weed and water. He also personalized it, which made me smile….

Angry Man Farm 2019

I had a really good experience with my herb garden last year. I stuck with it and watered it every morning and weeded it every night and it worked. This year, Angry Man Farm is going BIGGER. You can tell…

Currently, pre-squish edition

Sitting here: While I’ll be sad to see summer go, I’m pleased that I squeezed in so much outdoor time. Instead of dorking on the internet for a half hour in between each household task, I just do all of…

Peaches and Herb(s)

My herb garden is exploding with goodness! I have fresh basil and parsley whenever I want some, a load of thyme I don’t know what to do with yet, and TONS of oregano. I harvested a bunch of it last…

Our lily

This was a plant I rescued from our front lawn. As in, literally part of the lawn, being mowed every few weeks all summer long every year since we moved in 3 years ago. I put it in a pot…

Currently, rainy edition

Listening to the continuing rain. It started Saturday afternoon, but I did manage to get some time in at my personal “swim club.” The handiwork at the top right is WM’s effort to keep Murphy and Jack (the boxer living…

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)
