Fun fact, back in my theatre days, I was a stage manager for The Great Canadian Lumberjack show for the Rocky Mountaineer Rail Tours. We put on a dinner theatre for guests that were passing through town on the train. The Lumberjack show, though somewhat theatrical in the script, was truly showcasing some great skills….
Little Big Garden
Well, the gardening days have been busy. We have been working away for 3 weeks in getting the beds on the left side of the yard planted and happy with irrigation. We have also managed planting a few sections of the right side, however majority of those beds still need to go in. With the…
Soil, Cover, Plant, Repeat.
We are now going on 2 weeks straight of getting the gardens prepared and planted with all of our delicious garden goodies. Opening up the other half of the yard to garden beds, has certainly doubled the work, but I like this better than building rock walls. Plus, the more area to grow, the more…
Taking Gardening To The Next Level
With the rock wall being complete, we now have all new levels of gardens to utilize this summer. The only issue is that I got ahead of myself again and all the stuff that needs to be planted now is planned for the new beds. That’s ok though. After years of working on rock walls,…
Spotty Soil
We have had a few fantastic years of starting our own seeds in the house with great results. Each year we have included more seeds to our starter set and more of our garden started right at our house rather than purchased from a nursery. It has been a lot of fun watching them grow…
Sisyphus No More

Easter Weekend Project 4 – House Upper Level Painting
The final project that we completed on the Easter Weekend is one that I had originally intended to do the weekend after Thanksgiving last year. Unfortunately, it was a very rough week and I didn’t end up getting a chance to get this project done. Then we got a puppy and there was no chance…
Easter Weekend Project 3 – Yard Levelling & Path Building
Ok, so just to update you in case you haven’t been following along, Project 1 was doing a big yard cleanup and rake along with a yard waste dump run as well as a household waste dump run and Project 2 was completing another couple sections of the last of our rock walls. And here…
Easter Weekend Project 2 – Rock Walls
We were busy little beavers over the Easter weekend. I took a couple extra days off because there were a few bigger projects I wanted to complete before the spring gardening season hits. We ended up doing quite a few more projects than anticipated! I already wrote about the yard cleanup we did, which was…
Easter Weekend Project 1 – Yard Clean Up
To kick off our Easter weekend, we decided to start getting the yard ready for our upcoming planting season. As mentioned previously, the snow snuck up on us in the fall, and then never went away, so we had a bunch of plants to pull. We started off with pulling all the plants from the…
