Living in beautiful BC since 1968, left the USA during the Vietnam War. I used to think I might go back someday. Now retired and living on a small acreage Into gardening, baking, bugs, puzzles. Trying to find a way to keep sane while following the news
We have so many wild bunnies eating our garden plants and flowers of course I couldn’t resist this little mug
Teasel is blooming in my pollinator garden,very interesting plant. It seems like it should be covered with the tiny flowers but they open in seemingly random order. Love how big bumblebees visit the teeny florets
This is the top of one of the garlic plants in my garden Kind of looks like the inside of my head when I’m trying to follow the news these days
Fresh rhubarb from the garden,frozen raspberries from last year and frozen puff pastry from France. I will add it to my rhubarb recipe collection after rewriting the ingredient list and instructions-very confusing as printed in the newspaper
Strawberry season is on the way First berry ready to pick tomorrow if the slugs or other critters don’t eat it first
My tulips are finally starting to bloom. Unfortunately the squirrels and wild bunnies have decided they like to eat them. Only a few are surviving intact.
Spotted the first skunk cabbage of the season in our creek,a bit later than usual .
Signs that spring is on the way: Volunteer radish, overwintered leeks, self seeded somniferum poppies, and rhubarb fighting its way through buttercup and strawberries
If you’re wondering what to do with your sprouted onions, plant them in your vegetable or flower/herb garden. They most often produce beautiful flowers,very attractive to pollinators . Sometimes they will also produce more onion bulbs.
September dahlia Grown from seed, as easy as zinnias and I like to use a packet of open pollinated varieties, mixed colours. Fun to be surprised by what appears.
A brief glimpse of blue skies this Christmas morning , now cloudy, with rain coming, possible snow
The sun broke through for a few minutes this afternoon, my favourite clump of trees suddenly glowing
