She has taken what she learned from RV-living and incorporated it into minimal living tips in her home.

How I Plan My PNW Vegetable Garden

April 15, 2019April 11, 2019By JoannaPosted in my tiny bungalow, gardening

I have wanted to share this post every spring since I started our vegetable garden. But every year I hold back because I know the photos aren’t the prettiest. I finally got over that fear and decided it was time. Gardening is like a meditation for me and such a big part of what I enjoy doing on the weekends. I just had to share with you.
