The title says it all. Thank you to Briarlea Kitchen for wonderful berries. The taste is out of this world and so much better than anything else I have ever tasted. In preparation for the jam making, last night there was a taste test of possible flavour combinations. With friends over for supper, dessert came […]
Well, we all knew if was going to happen. And happen it did. Today Holey Moses was taken down for his last crash to earth.
Thank you to Penny, Roberta and Mackenzie for all their help in putting up the greenhouse. And of course Dexter and Charlotte for being good dogs while we worked.
We’ve been eating radishes from our garden for about 6 weeks now, staggered planting is the key. But I overdid the last seeding and we ended up with way more than we could eat or give away. Plus they were getting too big and slightly woody. What to do? Freezing, canning or pickling. Spoiler alert […]

Well, we did it… with lots and lots of help from our neighbour Dennis, his Kabota and our nephew Seth. The garden beds are ready for planting. The three garden beds took lots of brush, about 4 yards of alpaca poop and 10 yards of triple mix. Dennis also leveled the areas of the yard […]
I’m concerned the seedlings are going to grow out of their pots before the weather is warm enough for them to be planted. We may have to rig up a cold frame for them as temporary housing.
