First Harvest's of the season!

It's been a long wait but we are finally starting to get a small harvest's from the garden. The Asparagus is starting to pop up! 

We have also been enjoying Chives, Onion tips, Parsley and a few Stevia leaves.

Seeds and times like these

Closed...

Sold out...

Unable to keep up with demand!!!

So many seed suppliers have posted messages on their sites like this...

Did you order your seeds in time before Covid hit? Did you panic buy or have a seed stash on hand?? I am grateful to see so many turn to gardening in times like these.. on the other hand it’s a little unnerving to see the seed industry unable to keep up with demand. I am thankful to have a pretty good storage of heirloom seeds on hand but have been lax on my seed saving practices you can bet I will be polishing up on that this season

Little moments

I can still bring into my body the joy I felt at seeing the first trillium of spring, which seemed to be telling me, Never give up hope, spring will come.

A very different Easter this year with Covid having the world upside down. Feeling grateful for all the little moments here at home!

 Frosty morning in April and most of the outside garden chores have been completed.  I am patiently awaiting those frost free days ahead to be gardening in full swing.

 There is no place I would rather be right now...Than here!

I am looking forward to this sunny day, playing in the greenhouse, starting more seeds and getting my hands dirty...

It's going to be a great day!
