A Little Bit of Magic In Every Box
It finally cooled off enough that I could venture out to the non-air conditioned shop to build the carrying case for the Magic The Gathering deck boxes I made a few weeks ago. It was an adventure that I will re-count as I had a few hiccups that I had to work some magic on….
Cauliflower Pains
Round two of cauliflower has not ended well. We had high hopes, but my research skills have caused us problems. In order to do better this time, I watched some YouTube videos, read articles and looked for advice for growing cauliflower. I felt confident when the first heads started growing and seemed to be thriving….
June Comparisons

Every Day I’m Brusselin’
This is our second take at growing both brussels sprouts and cauliflower, and so far things are going really well. Both sets of plants are growing beautifully and quickly, and look very healthy. The cauliflower has little orange heads started (we planted cheddar cauliflower, hence the orange colour), and will likely need to be banded…
New Level Activated
It is crazy to look back at where we were this time last year with the yard landscaping. I was diligently working away at getting our garden bed walls filled with rocks and finished so that we would be able to plant in them this year. That dream became a reality and let me tell…
Landscaping Frustrations
This is the 5th year that we have been sharing our story of landscaping our yard. We started this blog as a way to keep track of what we did each year, and over the years, have gained a small following. We chose to landscape our yard ourselves rather than bring in a company, because…
