Another Video

We are going back in time again to May 29th 2013, how did I do it? Well I went on my computer, then to Youtube on my internet browser and drank an espresso and amazingly we traveled back in time and heres a video to prove it.. oh? we didn't travel in time? prove it! Video #2

Peace, its bedtime.

Absent from posting things.

I haven't posted anything in a long while, I don't think anyone noticed though. I should have started this at the beginning of the year but its too late for that, so I am going to start now. My pretty little lady friend, my partner, my friend and all around amazing girl takes videos of our back garden at different intervals of the season. To show the progress of all that we grow. I am going to post them on here one at a time so I can look like I post a lot. This video is from April 9th of this year showing off our baby Spinach, Kale and Chard under our little PVC pipe greenhouses in our raised bed.

I will try and post one of these a week for the next few weeks so I can get back in the habit of checking this blogger thing out.

Peace out.

Woah!

So yesterday was wicked beautiful out, sun shinning. Just beauty bod, had lots of good sun time today. Raked up all the twigs that the cedars dropped over the winter, top dressed the raised garden bed with some sheep manure, brushed all the loose hair off the dogs. just thrilled that it was so warm out, I fully enjoyed it. Got time to take some pictures of our seeds we have been starting in the collector room (the room that collects everything).

First up we have from Edible Antiques, Azoychka Tomato, Pirkstine Orange Tomato, and Moon and Stars Watermellon, This was our first time ordering from E.A. I'm not into writing reviews but delivery was fast, nice envelopes with good description.

Edible Antiques, I like the envelopes.

Then from The Cottage Gardener, we ordered new Sandul Moldovan Tomato, Little Finger Eggplant(I kid here it is), Some flowers Calendula, Heirloom Sunflower mix, Cardinal Climber, Sensation Mixed Cosmos.
From last year we are using King of the North Sweet Pepper, Five-Colour Silverbeet Swiss Chard. We also bought Organic Kelp Extract, we have a hard time finding any good fertilizers that aren't Scotts Miracle-gro brands in our area, so this will apparently make upto 255L.

and from last year or maybe the year before we have from Cubits Chadwick Cherry Toms, Bloomsdale Spinach and from Urban Harvest, Little Bells Pepper (which we saved seeds from last year) we couldn't find anybody who had them and were running low. and Vates Blue Curled Kale.

We have our small greenhouses heating up the soil in the raised garden beds to transplant house Kale, Chard, and Spinach. We took them out yesterday to harden off in the nice weather, today isn't as nice, hence why I am writing this.

Here they are with their packages.

I wanna thank these people also for the work that they do finding suppliers, collecting seeds, find sustainable organic and Heirloom Varieties. Cause its something that I would not want to do. I am happy to support them.

These are our planned plants for this season, we are getting quite the collection.

Sleepers, enjoying the weather. Guarding the Gnomes home.

What the Pud!?

Well its getting cooler up here now. Maybe it will warm up again in the next few weeks. We sowed a few spinach, kale, and chard seeds. The chard we sowed a few weeks ago have grown very well and ready to be eaten, the spinach I believe got eaten by squirls. The second bunch of seeds we put into the ground, just to see how long we can keep them going under our mini green houses, or just over winter under some mulch, since that was successful the past winter.
Well to get to the point of this, my Little lady friend went out to help with a fundraiser for the Healing Horse Center at Boston Pizza, for their vet and hay bills. I went and got some groceries and made a mess in the kitchen. What mess did I make?
I made Chocolate Pudding mess, but not just any chocolate pudding, since the two Humans in the house are lactose intolerant.

3 Avacados - scooped out and pited
1/4 cup almond milk
1/2 cup of Honey (or to taste)
2tbsp of Peanut Butter (optional)
1/4 tsp of Salt
2 tsp Vanilla extract
1/2 cup of cocoa powder

put it all in the food processor mix until smooth, scraping the sides back into the mixture. Refrigerate and bam pudding.

Now this tastes good but don't be fooled its not going to taste like "regular" pudding, but if you have good ingredients it will taste good. But, thats just my opinion

Most of the ingredients.

All of the ingredients.
