seeds cheese and chocolate

Our snow is almost at an end, the grapes have been pruned, the trees trimmed, and I have been looking curiously at our front lawn.  It seems as though the dew worms have been hard at work and left mini mountains over the entire lawn.  Where was that roller left last fall?

A little dark and dreary today
with rain and overcast sky's

A few weeks ago I attended one of the local seed exchanges in Enderby, far from local, there were dozens of tables set up with a wide assortment of vendors providing everything from heirloom vegetables to flowers to unusual and unheard of herbs and perennials.

Not only seeds, but cheese, honey, and handmade chocolates...mmm.  I wanted to provide a picture, but you know....

One of the booths was Potters Without Borders, providing information on a very simple but effective way of providing safe drinking water for people in poorer areas of the world.  Here is a link to their web site, its worth a look.  www.potterswithoutborders.com

Spring Again

How I've looked forward to this day

The last day of winter!

So long snow, see ya later

Here comes the fun!

The snow is slowly receding as the first day of spring approaches.

A little late this year, but in the Okanagan

it warms up quickly and soon the flowers will be blooming and we will have caught up with the Lower Mainland.

I'm looking forward to some warm weather again and all of the spring stuff that goes with it.

All of this years seed has been carefully selected for our vegetable crops, more plantings of asparagus and a few upgrades on the farm are planned.  We'll keep you updated as time marches on.

I'll be adding recipes for asparagus and info on the beautiful area that I live in soon, so come back and visit in a while and see the updates.
