Well, I realize this would sort of be the antithesis of Wordless Wednesday, but at least it still keeps it simple. Here is a short and mostly useless video about how good vegetables are when eaten fresh from the garden:
Flipping through my mom’s copy of The New Moosewood Cookbook several years ago I was instantly drawn to the spanakopita recipe. It was the copious amounts of feta cheese that drew me in. I made the dish with some of my parents’ garden-fresh spinach and was amazed at how the dish just “ate” the spinach. […]
I know that last week’s seedling update was not good. It was also somewhat dramatic. I’ll keep today’s update simple; as stated in the title, “All is Well.” And even though we had nothing to do with planting them, there are a few lovely flowers to enjoy right now. The seedlings are still acclimating which […]
Thursday started off normal. Well, it started off normal but a little bit windy. My Assistants and I rode (aka I rode and they sat in their chariot behind me) to the Early Years Centre. After a nice morning there we headed on towards Uptown Waterloo to meet up with Madame for some coffee and […]

However, for plants that I can’t risk leaving out overnight (like peppers, tomatoes, tomatillos, ground cherries, eggplants, etc) I […]
Things here in Kitchener/Waterloo are just starting to warm up. Yesterday was one of the first truly no-glove days for the boys and I. It was great! We walked downtown (yes, we live in a place where life can be loved mostly without a car!), met Madame at her work around lunch hour, ran a […]
I spent Sunday afternoon building a “cold frame hoop house.” The weather was mild (around freezing) and the work was mostly easy. I’m happy with the results and hopefully my seedlings will be too when they head outside in a few weeks. I’m hoping that the structure will help warm the soil upon which it […]
I planted my seeds on March 13. By the weekend some of the lettuce had sprouted and now pretty much everything has sprouted. I’m just waiting on the peppers.
…Our Garden! Last night I planted the first round of seeds for this upcoming growing season. I was accompanied and assisted by a new friend from Transition KW and briefly by my son (before he had to go to bed). My new friend and I connected through a common interest and overlapping needs—I love to garden but don’t […]
