Home Grown

Our Topsy Turvy & deck pots are starting to yield berries for us to enjoy !! There have only been a few, but they are "ever bearing" plants, they will provide us with fruit all summer long !! A very exciting thought.

Sprouts

A few shots of the beans & radishes growing in our raised bed garden in the backyard.

It seems the radishes grew overnight the first night the seeds were in the ground. They have the cutest leaves !!

The beans took a few more days, but then sprouted up out of the soil in a fast & furious way !! They are standing tall and growing more and more each day.

I love being able to wander out and see the new sprouts, increased height, new leaves, and exciting progress all the plants are making.

Also planted are carrots & parsnips, dill (for making pickles later this year), two kinds of pepper plants and sunflowers.

Loving having a garden for the first time since I was on living on the farm !!

It's Not Easy Being Green

My bathroom needed a little more colour ... because I am bright & cheery !!

Loving it more and more every day !!

Berry Tradition

A few weeks ago, mom & I tackled a small crate of berries, hulling, slicing, sugaring, and freezing. They are very tasty !! Loving the NS local berry crop : )

This was such a small amount of berries in our books ... normally we tackle six 6qt baskets and make jam in addition to freezer berries.
