August has arrived, quickly as usual. The garden is in full swing and plants are really starting to produce a lot of delicious goodies. The garden itself is looking very similar to last year, full and overflowing. Though as you can see from the photos above, our skies are a little brighter and colourful this…

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,…
Sisyphus No More
WE DID IT! Oh my goodness, we have officially finished the last of our rock walls and it feels so good….well mentally it feels so good…physically we are sore and tired. So, as a quick recap, here is how the rock walls have gone over the last 6-7 years. 2016 We finally experimented with some…
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…
Nature’s Calling
Not that kind of “Nature’s calling”….I know you thought this would be about that, but it is not. It’s about the fact that Nature is calling us to get our butts in gear! The birds are swarming the trees, chirping merrily. There are more sounds of kids playing and outdoor activity. The dog is regularly…
Grow Little Seedlings
I love this time of year, when the seeds are first starting in the greenhouse and every morning I get to look and see if any more have sprouted up. It is like a little surprise. Sometimes a big surprise when something has not only sprouted but is standing quite tall right away. I then…
So Close – Part 1 complete
We did it! We completed part 1 of our last wall. Of course the last one would be in 3 sections, but technically all one wall. So, as excited as we are about completing this large section, we do have 2 more sections of the wall to complete. Unfortunately, it will likely be in the…
Discontinued
We have blown through our rock pile very quickly once we got filling the new wall. I quickly called our go-to landscaping company to schedule another load to be delivered before the weekend and luck would have it that they could get us some on Friday. Perfect! We could do a section on Friday and…
Sisyphus again and again…
Well, it has been a bit a couple weeks since we got the wall wired up and have since been picking away at getting it filled with rocks. The last 2 weeks have also been very busy, so the wall has been somewhat slow going. But good news, its full! I just need to finish…
Deja Vu
We are on the final stretch of building rock walls, and it is beginning to feel like deja vu…been here, done this, many, many, many times now. But, despite the fatigue with wanting to build rock walls there is still drive there to get them done because we LOVE the walls we have already finished…
