Garlic & Nasty Beetles
Have I talked about my love of growing garlic before? If i did.. its buried a few years ago, and it’s time to again. I grow way too much garlic. Way more than I or my family will use. In 2014 I harvested over 250 bulbs from our small kitchen garden. I did a TONNE …

We celebrated CANADA DAY very unceremoniously this year.. thanks to Covid-19. Honestly, Bill and i aren’t ones to celebrate Canada day very ceremoniously any given year.

Ch-Ch-Changes and Growth
The gardens are changing everyday.. showing LOTS of growth. It’s an exciting time to be home and being able to play in my garden – and helps keep me distracted from the roller coaster of emotions I’m on for the last week or so – contemplating my future with regards to work & ministry and …
Blossoms, Beans & Baby Birdies
First off… is this not the CUTEST baby bird you’ve seen? Our Oriole family has been coming together to feed, Dad with baby daughter (pictured here) and sometimes Mom with baby son. We have at last 3 adult males.. not sure how many females, the males I’ve been able to distinguish by their markings. Today …
