Goodbye, Winter

The Winter’s dance, a play with white, shadow, and stillness.

Seeds needing winter stratification under snow

Snow on Solexx Greenhouse — The snow slid right off the roof of the Solexx greenhouse. No structural damage whatsoever. LOVE Solexx!

Goodbye, Winter….for tomorrow is Spring!

Barbolian Fields is a little backyard horticultural experiment / permaculture adventure located just outside Sequim, WA. We sell herbs, uncommon plant starts, seeds, garden surplus, handcrafts, and custom-made Warre-style beehives at local outlets and online. We are also an authorized distributor of Solexx greenhouse materials and products. Our focus is on creating regenerative mini-ecosystems that conserve water, build soil health, and provide habitat for pollinators and wildlife. Sometimes I serenade things with a little harmonica, just for good measure. Thanks for visiting!
