What an honour to be featured on the Food System Roundtable Waterloo Region blog. Thank you Erica Carmount for a job well done and a lovely conversation. Hunting for photos gave me the kick in the pants I needed to finally get my website updated since the property renos a year ago.

I finally beat bacterial wilt. These represent 2 unpruned untrimmed cucumber plants, each cropping about 50 cucumbers each! Well, I didn't actually beat it but I managed to source County Fair cucumbers from McKenzie seeds and they are resistant. Now time to decide whether I pull them or trim the diseased leaves off etc. as downy mildew is settling in.

Lettuce, Asian greens, kale, spinach and claytonia available for fresh eating. Seedlings both large and small available for planting now and ongoing. As I grow all year, my preferred planting times can be a little different in relation to our climate, insect and disease pressure and other factors. Seedlings are sold plastic free. Please message to inquire and I will get us connected via email. Pick your own options and summer/fall shares available (includes fruiting and root veg produce).

My daughter made herself a kale smoothie for breakfast, and here is the lunch chosen by my 2 others. They are now going out in the garden and helping themselves. Life is good!

I've had a great time emptying most of my winter outdoor worm composter into containers. After fermenting all our kitchen waste and adding microgreen roots, garden waste and cardboard, this is the result. I got a little carried away making faces from what wouldn't break down. Make no bones about it. I love composting. Now that it's in sun again, the composter is a cold frame.

We will pay you to take our clean fill! 7or 8 cubic yards available. It is sandy and loamy and not clay but would only be recommended for areas where vegetables will not be grown as it was taken from around an older home. We will shovel it for/with you as well.
