Almost all the spots in my greenhouse are planted now. We've been eating spinach, green onions and flat leaf parsley (well those all winter), radishes and little turnips for weeks now.
The hens are picking up the egg laying and the 6 new pullets are now fully integrated and peace is descending on the coop and run.
The bees are good with high quality pollen patties and some syrup to keep them going until all the dandelions and maple buds are out.
The garlic is huge and the shelling pea fence is up, just waiting for a warmer day to plant.
It's hella windy and I lit the fire again today but it feels good and spring-like outside.
The world is in chaos and yet She persists. Southern BC interior is beautiful.

It was hot today but not unbearably. Late morning I closed the doors and pulled the blinds on the windows. I prepared a dehydrator full of pear halves and canned 7 quarts of diced tomatoes in tomato juice that I made first. More pears and tomatoes tomorrow, also grapes to juice & apples to turn into applesauce, some to can and some to make apple leather. #gardenmagic #harvest #homesteading #kitchenwitch

Apricot season around here is short, if you blink you'll miss it. I missed it but then found out there is LATE apricots! So I lucked out and got a flat. Here is a double batch of apricot butter. No butter in it, just apricots, sugar & lemon juice. It will be winter sunshine. #gardenmagic #summertime #harvest #FoodPreservation

Someday I will remember the proper order of operations for summer yardwork, namely,“Work first, then shower.”
Today was not that day.
In my defense, I only went out to water the veggies. The problem started when I noticed a weed. And another weed. And some branches that needed pruning back, a burdock on the vege of seeding, some invasive grass to pull... and then somehow it was an hour and a half later. -

If you intend on saving seeds, now is the time to start planning it.
Saving seeds is very satisfying because it’s like getting free food. After the harvest for bought seeds, you have used the monetary value. When you save seeds further on, it’s all free.
Make sure you are saving seeds from open pollinated plants, not hybrids. If you can get hybrids to germinate, the resulting plant may not resemble what you expected to get. This is especially true for things like squash. So, be aware of this when purchasing seeds for future seed saving.
You can try saving any seed but my favourite seeds to save are the following:Peas- there are always pea pods that got missed in the harvest and I pull the plants, hang them in a dry spot and when the lingering pods have dried, shell them, leave them to dry further on a baking sheet then jar and label.
Scarlett Runner beans- these are easy to let a few get too big to eat and they are well able to be germinated the following year. Be sure to pick the seed pods before a hard frost so as to not damage the seeds. The best seeds are the huge purple mottled ones that release without hesitation from the pod when the pod is split open. Be careful to not accidentally slice the seed with your fingernail when opening the pod. Dry the seeds on a sheet then store in a jar. Use the same the method for other bean varieties such as black turtle beans.
Dill, fennel and onion- these all will go flying off the plant when they are fully ripe so JUST before that, I pick them and put them into paper bags, then you can catch the seeds as they fully ripen and fall from the plant. Otherwise, they just reseed all over the ground which is fine but you have to move them to where you want the plants in the spring.
Garlic- the key to saving garlic for seeds is in the harvest. Garlic is picky to harvest so that it lasts in the pantry until the following year. I pick the scapes when they have done 2 full circles but not yet begun to uncurl again. Then, stop watering the garlic 2 weeks before harvest, so the paper covering has a chance to develop. Hang them in loose bunches out of the sun in a breezy spot outside until they are very dry and the green tops are all brown. Then, trim the roots, and store inside in a cool, dry breezy spot. Choose the heads with the largest cloves to plant later that year a couple of weeks before the ground freezes just so they can develop roots but not grow up out of the soil.
Marigold, Nasturtium, Coreopsis, Morning Glory-(NOT wild bindweed)- these flower seeds are all easy to save, just don’t deadhead the tops you want to save for seeds and wait until they are very dry, gently pull the seed heads into your palm and carefully rub the seeds from their casings. Make sure they are fully dry, then jar and label.
Carrot, Beets, Parsnips- the seeds from these plants don’t develop until the second year so you have to leave your desired plants in the ground and let the plant grow again in the spring. Then, let the plant go to flower and save the seeds from that. You usually will need to save many more seeds than you think you will need because the germination rates are a little lower for these plants.
Potatoes- You can just let a few missed ones grow the following year but this does not allow for crop rotation and often the missed potatoes are small and don’t make good plants the following year. Save some perfect undamaged large potatoes until the following spring. Chit them, that is let the seed potatoes sprout a tiny bit in the light before planting them. Most storage potatoes will have started to sprout in the spring anyway. I have found that planing the whole potato and not cutting it into separate eye/sprouting sections results in a bigger and more robust plant. Keep in mind that buying and planting certified seed potatoes does help prevent potato diseases from persisting year to year.
Sunflower- make sure you let them fully ripen on the flower head so the seeds come off with only a gentle coaxing.
Walking or multiplier onions- these are great, they do their own thing but have to be re-situated as they will end up where they want.
Plants to be wary of: mustard, common oregano and mints, will all end up taking over your yard with no help from you. Be aware of this if you want to grow these plants.

The moment you step into the Connaught Hall garden, the scent of the Mexican orange blossom wraps around you—sweet, heady, and utterly enchanting. A quiet reminder that nature doesn’t whisper here… it sings.

People ask why I bother to do all the work of growing peas in my garden. Sure, I could buy a bag of Green Giant peas in the grocery freezer section. They were grown on huge tracks of artificially weeded and fertilized agricultural land. Or I can buy a small bulk bag of organic pea seeds, scrounge up a few poles and leftover fencing, put them into the cool ground. In July, I wander into the garden with my coffee early in the morning, picking a pod off the vines to eat, testing the ripeness. Then later, I shell them while sitting on the veranda in the afternoon heat, sipping something cold, and in the evening blanching and freezing the precious green veggie to add to made-from-scratch meals the following winter. This is the kind of magic that if you haven't done it, you can not understand it. There is no work like this that is a waste of time or energy.

One of my garlic braids was showing signs of not lasting. So I decided to make it all into garlic powder. I peeled the cloves without smashing them to preserve as much of the oil as possible. Now into the dehydrator until they are completely brittle. I have a designated coffee grinder for doing spices only. I’ll grind them in that a small batch at a time. The house smells amazing!

Today we remembered to dig up some horseradish before the ground freezes. Managed to get half a dozen gnarly roots. After chopping at this stuff for EVER, it made a blender full. I had to do the actual blending out on the veranda because yeehaw, it was a killer. The fumes nailed me a couple of times even outside. We let it go for quite a while before adding the vinegar and it is HOT. It made this 8 cup mixing bowl full of prepared horseradish. I put most of it in the freezer in little jars. So good with all kinds of things including roast beef. I especially like it on a fried egg and bagel breakfast sandwich mixed with a bit of mayo to cut the heat.
I didn't really use a recipe, just put enough cold water in the blender to be able to blend it up (takes a while) with a bit of sugar and salt, like a tiny bit. I ended up dividing it up into 2 batches because the blender just couldn't handle it. Each batch got about a third cup of vinegar at the end, maybe after 10 minutes. 5 minutes would have been long enough. -
One other big chore we got done this weekend was to jar up half the honey I have for sale. My gods what a sticky mess getting it strained and into the jars. The floor was adhesive. I can see why even small beekeepers end up buying expensive bottling equipment. Yeesh. But so, so satisfying to see the gorgeous jars all lined up with the bubbles settling out. Every teaspoon a precious drop. The whole area here this year made darker honey than the most recent years. No idea what the wee girls were getting as we had a very rainy spring and there must have been different things blooming. The honey tastes more flowery this year, too.

These mornings I've been up at 6 am picking raspberries before the heat and bees are up. I've been freezing them but I missed yesterday and there were so many this morning, I decided to can them.
Sodastream units come up on the buy and sell pages around here occasionally and I was thinking of getting one. I think the juice from these would be amazing with bubbly water. The berries spooned over ice cream...
