Ready... grow!

by Sabrina Tang
Last year we made the mistake of planting our seeds outside too early
and they got all eaten up by the squirrels and birds and rabbits and
duck (one; he's a mallard) of the neighbourhood.

This year, we're starting our seeds inside in the hopes that when
they're nicely sprouted the wildlife will be less interested.

So, we planted our seeds in some 'Jiffy Greenhouses' from Home Depot
last weekend and made a mini-greenhouse of our dining room. It's the
only sunlit spot in the house that we can keep the cat out of.

We'll see how this grows...

The Great Vegetable Garden Experiment, v2010

by Sabrina Tang
Ever since we've moved into a house with a Real Backyard I've wanted to grow a vegetable garden.  We got into the game a bit late last year and the squirrels ate all our seeds.  We had a mini-success with our tomato plants last year only because we picked up seedlings from Knippel's.

We're changing the game plan this year, thanks to Beckta's home garden seed kits.  The idea is you pay $25 for ten different types of seeds selected that grow well in the local climate, and can't just pick up at the grocery store for 99 cents.  The vegetables we will be growing this year are:

  • Maxibel Beans
  • Chantenay Carrots
  • Harris Model Parsnips
  • Five Colour Swiss Chard
  • French Breakfast Radishes
  • Chioggia Beets
  • Jacob’s Cattle Baking Beans
  • Laurentian Turnips
  • Bush Delicata Squash
  • Fava Beans
Stay posted for what actually comes up!
