I’ve got a few seedlings going in the front room. We get a lot of light from these big windows, so it’s the perfect spot to start my spring seedlings, assuming you don’t mind turning the living room into a green house. Here’s what’s going on most afternoons when I’m not paying attention. Get the Flash Player to [...] Before Gardening in December – sort of. We’re converting a strip of lawn into edible garden – and sheet mulching is one way of getting the lawn out and the veggies in. I’d always intended to do this in November, but we had so much rain, I just couldn’t get to it. With +10 degree C temperatures in [...] Heather Johnstone runs the Edible Garden Project on Vancouver’s North Shore.

Unfortunately, they’re also very interested in our [...] A sink full of marvelous BC peachesd Cold, hard rain woke me up early this morning. I’d been hoping to get off on the sailboat for a few hours this morning, but when the fall rains hit the lower Mainland, they don’t mess around. So, we took advantage of the wet weather to tend to [...] Newly planted strawberry plant Sunset Gardens is a neighbourhood in North Vancouver BC Canada where I live. I’m slowly converting parts of my yard into edible garden. For one, we love the taste of fresh organic vegetables. For two – what’s with cutting the lawn all summer anyway ?

And knowing that they’ll taste ten times better than anything I’m going to find in the supermarket, is well… Really.Really.Super.Hot. All that’s involved is: a little [...] |
