Wow! Thanks so much to all of you who came out to Gohn Greene Farms for our wedding! I'm so happy that many of you could come see the ceremony, many could see the farm for the first time and celebrate with us. It was a long hard year of preparation and we're so pleased with how all of it turned out. From the farm perspective, it was challenging to get everything together. Most of our work from this past year was clearing space for the garden and giving the farm a fresh start for our new lives together. We wanted to invest our time and money this year into the wedding, but in a more permanent, sustainable way. Investing our energy directly into the land where we'll be sharing our lives together.
We prepared for the wedding by clearing the space for the people and planting two flower beds. We originally had gardenias and azaleas planted along these beds. Of the dozen or so bushes I think 3 are still alive, and nobody could have possibly seen them they were so damaged by last July's heat. The bulbs we planted for the ceremony, almost all 225 of them, bloomed. Just about a month early. The food forest was begun, planting generous gifts of apple trees and nectarines. We planted pineapple guava and paw paws. Nature planted carrots and fennel... and poison ivy.
It was an awesome year, culminated by an awesome ceremony. Not everything went as planned, and I don't expect it ever will. Life is full of surprises, but as long as we keep our positive attitudes and our wits about us everything will be just fine. Not everyone could make it to the farm for the ceremony, but it was beautiful. Not everything went as planned, but an amazing year is in the books. Thanks for following along, thanks for your love and support and thanks for being a part of Gohn Greene Farms.
