Gardening is something that I think a lot of people think will be easy to do. We did. And for the most part, it can be. But is can also be a ton of work, especially if you go crazy like us and make the majority of your yard into garden space. And it isn’t…

Zucchini Herb Scones
This year I only planted 1 zucchini plant and thank goodness! We love zucchini, and this year we actually have been keeping up with the vegetable. Though, that could be because I have had some pollination problems, but still, glad we aren’t randomly dropping them on neighbours doorsteps and running before they can tell us…
July Comparisons
July has treated us pretty well. We have had some nice warm weather with a few stretches of higher heats. The hills have now all turned brown over the last month and we are once again looking like a semi-arid desert. Starting the month of July in 2022, we were almost 10 degrees cooler, though…
Asian Cucumber Salad
Summertime we find that most of our meals focus on a salad and protein, usually BBQ’d. I was getting bored of the proteins and salads we had been having and found a Tandoori marinade at the grocery store. I decided that some BBQ’d tandoori chicken sounded delightful! So, I bought the marinade and had to…
Jitters And Slithers
Well, it is time for another instalment of the bugs we find fascinating in our yard. I’m not going to lie, there are a lot of bugs in the yard, which we have shared throughout the years. This year there is a lot of the same, and a few newbies to the party. We haven’t…
Trim, Hack, Scoop and Whip
Well, it is time once again to get the crazy weeds under control. This time it looks even more chaotic. We may have let some things get out of hand again, and the beds themselves have needed some love, though we have been keeping more on top of that since our plants depend on it….
Cold Summer Growing Updates
Well, we have finally started seeing the temperatures reaching into the 30’s but it is still fairly rare and only for a short time. It does however look like we are going to be heading into an extended period of low 30*C temperatures. Although I am really enjoying the milder weather, the garden is needing…
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…
June Comparisons
Well, as you heard in the May comparisons post, we are having a bit of a different year this year. May was a bit cooler than last year, delaying the start of the growing season. June feels like a different month completely. This time last year we were under the insufferable heat of the heat-dome,…
