Wordless Wednesday … Baby Beets

Take Two on the Giant Pumpkin Seeds
For whatever reason my giant pumpkin seeds, or should I say, the seeds for my giant pumpkins did not sprout. Thankfully I saw my colleague and fellow gardening enthusiast today who very kindly supplied me with a new set of seeds. As well as new seeds, we also discussed techniques about how to [...]
Mother’s Day Feast
I decided to skip the turf go for a “surf” themed dinner for my Sweetheart for Mother’s Day. All we need now is a pound or two of butter and we have a dinner ready.
NFLD Dressing and Gravy on Chips at Austin Fish and Chips
A good Newfie buddy of mine took me to Austin Fish And Chips in Coquitlam the other day because he wanted me to try this dish called Newfoundland Dressing and Gravy on Chips. An order of Newfoundland Dressing and Gravy with chips is $6.75. However, if you just add it on to an order [...]

Today I placed the top half of a broken down composter on top of a couple of flattened out cardboard boxes, filled it with a mixture manure, sawdust and composted leaves to create a strawberry planter.

Checked your smoke detector lately?
On the same day that we moved the clocks in our house forward an hour I checked to make sure the smoke detectors were all functioning properly. To my surprise, the smoke detector in the hallway closest to the kitchen had no batteries in it. The good news is that the batteries have been replaced. [...]
