It’s a beautiful day to turn your home #compost ! If you can get some air flow going in there, the process will speed up and you’ll see if needs any #carbon or #water in the process. Always be building soil! #SaveSoil #permaculture #garden #gardening #wastereduction #organicgardening

The last of the #garlic that was planted in Fall 2

The last of the #garlic that was planted in Fall 2021, harvested in June 2022. #TBH it wasn’t the best haul due to the #soil conditions after the #heatdome and ash from nearby #wildfires but we still got something, it’s tasty, local and was grown with love for the #family 🧄

How do I know? Well, I *may have accidentally scorched a few / lot of plant babies when I first started out with an unheated #greenhouse years ago, and now know better. Don’t underestimate a) the power of the sun b) the speed at which your greenhouse can heat up, even in winter and c) the importance of #venting the greenhouse to release some of that rising #heat #growingfood is both easy AND hard at the same time, but it is always rewarding to eat what you tended and it tastes so much better #fresh #gardening #permaculture #gardentips

The birds and the bees need your help! Let’s work together to support them in a big way this year, which helps us, too! We help with planning, budgeting, plant sourcing and selection and placement. We can advise on soil, plants care and even include some education in there. Things are starting to book up, so connect with us early to ensure you are top of the list!

Happy #valentines day! Feeling so much love today

Happy #valentines day! Feeling so much love today as we connect with awesome new clients, plant seeds, and see bits of green poking up out of the snow! Rumour has it the groundhog is calling for an early spring, so we can get out in the #greenhouse and get a solid “plant baby” foundation set for a #foodsecure and #lekker #delicious 2023!

Rosemary. Ever tried to overwinter it or propagate

Rosemary. Ever tried to overwinter it or propagate it? You may have found that it is hard to get it through the winter. It’s not you, she’s finicky! The reason some folks say they have a green thumb is because they’ve killed enough plants to learn how to keep them alive and/or they started more plants than they needed knowing some just won’t make it regardless. Try, try again, fail, fail harder, then keep going. It’s worth it for the taste and smell in this case! #edibleplants
