Another gardening season officially is coming to an end, and with it our monthly garden updates. We have been doing monthly garden updates for 4 years now. It was fun every month to record what was growing and how. Last year, for the first time, we went till November, and started again this year in ...
Our Garden '15
Garden Update – August 2015
It is end of summer here in Canada, and it was a good summer! Very thankful to see all the growing and ripening. Now at the end it all really comes together. Seeing the fruits makes me so thankful to the one who created it all and promised: "So long as the earth exists, seedtime and harvest, cold ...
Garden Update – July 2015
Looking back on July garden updates in the past years, severe weather seems to be a theme. This year was no exception. Even though most of July we had beautiful summer weather, we also had some really bad storms. So many around us got a killer hail. Thankfully our garden just had some cosmetic ...
Garden Update June 2015
June is not my favourite month in the garden. I think it has a lot to do with my impatience. Looking at those little plants, I wonder how they will ever make it. Let's face it, they really only have two, maybe three more months to grow, bloom, and bear fruit. Thankfully we have been gardening long ...
Garden Update – May 2015
Another gardening month has come and gone, it is time for an update. I write these updates mostly for us, but if you are interested, we do try to pack something helpful and informative into it as well. This is our 4 year anniversary of monthly garden updating. Here is our garden in 2012, 2013, 2014 ...
Garden Update – April 2015
It is our 8th spring in Canada and by far the earliest. There are flowers that bloom and trees that are green. We are spending many hours working in the garden. The soil is warm and the weather forecast good. Maybe global warming (if it is true!) is not so bad after all ;). Garden Design We ...
Garden Update – March 2015
March was a very exciting month garden wise. Partly due to an unusual early and warm spring, but more so because there was so much going on here. Seriously, March has always been very challenging for me, the long winter that seemed to never to come to an end and and spring that seemed so far away. ...
Garden Update – February 2015
Another month has gone by so quickly. Again, it was a month of learning. Winter and indoor gardening is a whole new world for us and it is so fun to experiment with it and learn from it. Seeds It is still winter in our “neck of the woods” and sometimes, it feels like spring does not come until ...
Garden Update – January 2015
This is a first in so many ways! Of course, it is the first garden update in 2015, and also it is our first garden update in January, ever! A winter growing experiment in Zone 3, a first harvest for us in the middle of the winter, and the beginning of a new growing adventure with the Tower ...
