Hey guys, If you’ve been following me at all, you’ve already seen my post about the mixed flower and vegetable garden that we have out front. The main garden (aka the rock garden) that I use for growing veggies is located on the other side of the house, at...
Hey guys, As I mentioned in my previous post, I’ve been editing my photos from the past few months. The front garden photos are now ready. This garden bed was the first area to thaw in the spring, so I planted radishes and other cold-hardy veggies until the weather...
Hi all, I haven’t posted lately due to life stuff. Long story short, my engagement to my ex-fiance ended earlier this year. I’ve moved back to Muskoka to be closer to my family and hometown friends. That means I had to start a new garden. Gardening is basically therapy,...
Hey fellow gardeners, foodies, and nature lovers! How’s your summer going so far? The weather has been brutal here.

The CSA share season is over now. We got tons of veggies for week 7 and week 8, including a spaghetti squash and a pie pumpkin. I didn’t do anything special with it, unless you count the pumpkin risotto that did not taste like pumpkin. I also played around...
So this week has been fairly uneventful. The CSA Box has the usual items. I kept things simple. I steamed the broccoli, blanched it, then froze it for later use. I made the usual snacks and meals with the onions and potatoes and salad greens. I had a bunch...
