As promised in my previous post, I just went out into the garden to take a few pictures to share of the plants. Normally I would wait a while but since the photos in the last post are 9 days old anyway, there has been a lot more growth lately in the greenhouse. The...
No searches this week
Normally I would have posted my weekly searches blog yesterday but there really weren't any new searches leading to this blog this week. Well, there were plenty about Rob Rainford and more of the same from the previous weeks search posts, but nothing that made me want...
A decorating idea straight from your garden
I found this idea while browsing some of my mother-in-laws old garden magazines and really thought it was a very nice idea for a summer party...and may have to use it for our housewarming party if I have the flowers and such around. What they've done is fill a bowl...
Gooseberry harvest & our first chili
Today we harvested gooseberries from the bush in our garden. It's amazing how much fruit was packed on this one bush. It's actually about 4 kilos (9 pounds) of berries so now we're trying to figure out what we will do with all this fruit. We don't eat too many...

A weekend in the garden
Our major focus this weekend was on our garden. We installed our irrigation system throughout the greenhouse and in one raised bed which we actually have things growing. And the rest we will work through when we are not under so much of a time constraint.And as you...
Irrigation system nearly complete
Well we seem to be having a bit of a problem with the timer but we haven't been out there yet when the sprinklers are supposed to be on so things may indeed be running perfectly. We will be going out to check on everything at 7 pm and then I need to make sure to check...
