2024 Growing Season Review
Since I slacked a bit at the end of last year with blog updates, I thought it would be best to review the 2024 growing season as a whole. Overall, it was a great growing season, especially with the cost of food being what it is. The fresh veggies are always great to have and…
June Garden Updates
We are coming to the end of June and about to celebration Canada Day (July 1), so we thought it would be a good opportunity to provide an update about the garden growth. We have had a few battles, so I feel like some of our plants are a little behind where they could have…
