Back To The Land With You All!

I garden but not as much as I should or could. It's good exercise, cheap and gets you tasty stuff. It's easy - I stuff bottles of olive oil with herbs I grow and use that all winter. I am a star. Apparently my hobby is taking off: • “Seed companies and garden shops say that not since the rampant …
Are These The Last Friday Bullets Of Summer?

It's been a good summer. The garden is full of cherry tomatoes, collards and kale. Diving board jumping skills were attained by those that needed it. Stuff acquired includes the $320 canoe and I had an Almond Joyful at Purity Dairy. • Presidential Update: sometime comment maker and Societ hat …
Ratty R.I.P.

As discussed in the spring, we have a neighbourhood garden rat feeding off the bounty of various well maintained compost piles. Don't believe the "no meat, no pests" stuff - they are branching out into vegetarianism. Or rather we did have such a beast. Yesterday, the snap of the trap took him from …
The Radishes Are Up

I do not particularly like radishes but I am glad they are there. They will pop out of the ground whatever the conditions well before anything else. Maybe it's because they give you both the false senses that you are good at something and that you have a treat to look forward to...even though a …

Hah! Denied! I defy ratty desire! • While I am lazy as the next guy, I do plan from time to do something. Yesterday I made the compost big mouse proof. We are a heavily composting neighbourhood and an exceptionally well mammaled one as well. We have mice, squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits and the …
Seeds

I set about picking the seeds for the garden this morning. Seeds and even fruiting bushes and trees are the perfect e-commerce product. Neat, compact and modest in price. One of the nice things about some sites is the ability to spend about 50% more - three bucks instead of two - and get the small …
Friday Not Going Postal Chatfest

An interesting week for we and Canada Post. One day a package that hardly registered for weight within province was taken for posting and the clerk said "eight bucks." "Eight bucks! Forget it. Give it to her next time we visit." On another day, two packages with identical size and identical …
And In My Other Needs...

The garden needs to be improved, made more foody. Good to see that there are a variety of fig trees to be had at Grimno Nut down at Niagara-on-the-Lake. We have a south facing brick wall and that should do the trick with some potted plants. Chiltern in England has olive seeds - could one actually …
