September’s Cultivation

Posted on October 16, 2026 by admin

This year we planted 8 garden beds full of vegetables, they grew out and reached out of their enclosures, trying to get a taste of the nearby land.

“That’s such a big zucchini, I bet its going to get first place”
Davin A. Peterson

It indeed did, the zucchini’s performed amazingly, we named the largest one, Godzini. The zucchini plants shared beds with tomatoes and peas.

The massive godzini has escaped its containment!

Furthermore, the tomato plants grew to into gigantic bushes that rose to the sky on trellises, we grew a few types of tomatoes. Each bush definitely growing 100+ tomatoes and almost taking out the trellises with their shear weight.

Behind Davin are the beans, cucumbers and believe it or not, MORE TOMATOES! Steamed beans with cheesy sauce is really good… maybe future recipe drop? They are also great roasted on the barbecue, watchout because they also burn easy when covered in oil.

Gardens are growing great

Posted on July 27, 2025 by admin

Its another great day in the valley for growing things. This year the gardens are full of tomatoes, zucchini, squash, kale, chard, lettuce, garlic, beets, peas, beans, potatoes.

We planted everything in late May and now mid July the beds are overflowing with green goodness.

New water tank

Posted on April 6, 2025 by admin

Last summer we put in a new well. Now we will also have rainwater collection 2500 gallons of liquid life from the sky.

The rainwater will be collected from the roof of the new building and perfect for watering the gardens. We will put the tank on the container.

Jules and the Giant Cornstalk

Posted on October 21, 2024 by admin

This year Jules planted heirloom organic corn in one of the gardens. The corn is beautiful with rainbow kernels and a special flavour planted from original seeds from last year and passed on through time to today.

Some of the cornstalks grew to over 16ft tall. I’ve never seen anything like it so its simply a-maze-ing. We will plant corn again next year from the seeds.

Hand crafted Hardwood Maple Tables

Posted on September 16, 2024 by admin

With the help of our neighbour Dan Wall, this year Sacha and I made a pair of hand crafted maple tables. The tables were made from a couple of maple trees that we needed to cut down because they were leaning over one of the buildings.

Dan has a great wood working shop and so we brought over some slabs of the maple tree and started making some furniture.

The trees were milled into 2inch slabs and then we planed them into boards. The design we made was based roughly off another old wooden table I had and I think its a classic modern heirloom organic hardwood maple table that will hopefully stay with our family for many years.

I look forward to sitting by the fire and reading, or writing. Having coffee or tea, playing chess or a glass of wine and many more fun things to share with family and friends over these tables.

Spring Planting Seeds in the Gardens

Posted on May 27, 2024 by admin

I have lots of heirloom second or third generation seeds from last year.
This weekend we planted peas, beans, pumpkins, carrots, kale and acorn squash all from these seeds. I also have cucumber and tomato starts from a local business in town who have heirloom organic plants.

Thanks so much also to all my friends and family who came out and helped with the gardening and taking care of the chickens. Jules, Lorna, Sacha and Karen all helped me and now we have 8 raised garden beds full of plants ready for the Spring and Summer growing season

The Kale does really well almost all year round and the carrots are in many different colours which is a lot of fun because its always a surprise when we pick them. The peas beans and cucumbers all like to climb on frames I have made from fencing against the backs of the beds.

Pumpkin Puree Process

Posted on November 21, 2023 by admin

We have had the honour of a lot of fresh large ripe pumpkins growing in the field and so while some may go to Halloween, the rest must be processed for puree and frozen for future awesome meals and snacks.

This year has been a lot of fun with acorn squash, pumpkins, zucchini all growing really well in this Summer and Fall seasons of 2023.

Cut the pumpkin into large chunks, remove the skin and put in a large pot with some water in the bottom 1-2 cups for steaming, not boiling the pumpkin pieces

Drain the pumpkin pieces and the blend with a hand blender in the pan or mixing bowl. Ready for use in your recipes for pumpkin pancakes or pumpkin banana bread.

Full Fall Flavour

Posted on October 16, 2023 by admin

What a great time right now. All the vegetables and greens are ready and its nice to celebrate lots of hard work and enjoy some delicious food.

This year we’ve got lots of kale, carrots and beans. Eggs of course, and several different types of squashes and pumpkins.

This post is a different style of vegetables instead of a Thanksgiving roast we are making Fall Fried Rice.

Pumpkin and the Bean Stalks

Posted on July 24, 2023 by admin

Its a beautiful summer and the garden beds are really growing for it.
The beans are reaching for the sky, bringing tomatoes and pumpkins up the vines. Its really neat to see them intertwined and together reaching higher than the posts.
