Garden Update: March 16th - 25th

Sorry for the lack of updates but here we go! Here are some photos of our bulbs and perennials coming up in the front garden!

 The three colours of crocus we have... classic, reminds me of the 

gardens in downtown Wolfville, NS.

 The front garden on March 22nd, the lawn is slowly being taken over...

 March 22nd, you can see our new tulips and 

classic day lilies emerging. 

 Three days later on March 25th, quite the ice little jump up!

 Irises jumping up, we have a great clump forming! 

We also have some classic yellow dutch daffodils blooming on March 25th.

Carpet of snow and white hyacinths.

July 15th- Garden Update!

"Rainbow Mix" Swiss Chard is ready to cook up in pasta, stir-frys or as a side.

Fresh organic blue-berries ready to pick!

Ripening Green "Early Girl" Tomatoes in the Raised beds.

"Alaska Mix" Nasturtium in bloom. I've been enjoying a few on my salad every night.

We have been really lucky have a very sunny, hot and stormy July so far. This is perfect for heat loving plants like, fruit (raspberries, blue-berries, blackberries) and the end of my ever-bearing strawberries. Tomatoes and eggplants also benefit from the insatiable heat. Other plants like, lettuce, spinach, radish and chard tend to become tough and bitter, and start to form seed heads. Bronwyn and I have been spending 1-2hrs around dinner time, weeding, thinning, pick and snacking down in the garden. Everything is super healthy this year. Soon we will have a great harvest of carrots, beets, beans, kohlrabi, joy-choi, hot peppers and celery! Like always, the herbs are growing strong and we have had no shortage of seasoning for meats, salads and potatoes. Keep in touch, stay up-dated!
