🌿 Soil test results are in… and it’s officially Texas Gumbo.
Sticky when wet, hard as a brick when dry, and packed with minerals — very on-brand for North Texas. 😅

The good news? Nothing is broken or toxic. Our soil just needs compost, the right nutrients, and time to become garden-ready. This is our Year 1 baseline, and we’ll test again next year to see how far we’ve come.

🌱 Follow along as we turn gumbo into good dirt, one season at a time.

🎄 Every farm starts somewhere… and apparently ours starts with one very festive tree.

We may not have crops yet, or beds built, or even a clue what we’re doing 😂…
but we do have Christmas lights and big backyard dreams.

3,000 sq ft of future mini farm.
1 tree absolutely carrying the team. 🌲💪

✨ Follow along as we grow this thing from the ground up — one tiny victory (and one lit-up tree) at a time.

📮 Today we mailed our soil samples to Texas A&M!

We’re sending our dirt to Texas A&M so they can tell us what we’re working with… because honestly, we have no idea. 😅
One tiny step for our mini suburban farm, one giant leap for our backyard dreams.

🌱 Follow along as we grow—literally.
