Surprised last week to still get a few yummy snap beans as we were removing our bush bean plants 🌿😀🌱Check out the tiny white root nodules that fix nitrogen, just like we learned in science class! 👨🔬

Our borage is still going strong! It's great for pollinators🐝 and its flowers and leaves are edible, too! 😉Our borage is still going strong! It's great for pollinators🐝 and its flowers and leaves are edible, too! 😉  Okay, pretty sure last week was the VERY last summer harvest from out victory garden for @ftndurham : 10 lbs worth of baby butternut squash, yellow zucchini, green zucchini, and eggplant; black cherry tomatoes; and cucumbers 🥒🍒🍆Also pulled off all our remaining tomatoes (37 lbs), green and red 🍅 Mealworm frass worked great for us as an all-natural fertilizer 🐛Please help fight hunger in your community! 😀  Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! 🍂🦃🍂 On this day, we're so thankful for everyone who has supported our environmental community projects! We're also so thankful for our local charities such as @torontowildlifecentre and @ftndurham who help build healthier communities! 😀  Still getting some snow peas in our victory garden here and there! 👨🌾Wonder how long we can grow peas for in Zone 6b?  Managed to harvest just a bit more of summer for @ftndurham 20 lbs of butternut squash, beets, zucchini, beefsteak tomatoes, and kale (not shown) 🍅🥒🥦 Yay mealworm frass for giving our veg a leg up! 🐛 Please help fight hunger in your community! 😀  Perhaps beets are an acquired taste, even for mealworms! 🌱🐛We were pleased to provide @torontowildlifecentre with ~12500 mealworms this week 😀Please support their mission to save wildlife! 🦇🦎🐦  Reinventing "recycled art" 🎨Zach made a potato turkey for school last Canadian Thanksgiving 🦃He liked it so much he kept it for weeks, and it ended up shriveling and sprouting 🌱Instead of getting composted, it got chopped up and potted in soil for fun. By March, just in time for coronavirus lockdown, we had a cool potato plant that we named Steve. Then, we thought Steve should come out of quarantine and get to hang out with some new potato plant friends in our victory garden. 🌿Steve had a great summer, and to our surprise this weekend, he ended up making three tender new versions of himself! Yum! 🥔😋🥔😋🥔  |
