Sweet potatoes!!!


I wasn't gonna..but I did. I've placed a store bought sweet potato in some water to make it root and sprout. Now I still have at least 3 months before Spring is totally here, so I hope it will have enough time to sprout. I still have no idea where I will plant the sprouts...but I suppose I'll have time to dig a hole for it. Besides than....nothing much happening here. I am going to shovel snow in a little while because after a month there's been a snowfall! I'm still making videos of my plans for 2010 on Youtube. Mostly because I need to wait 'till the end of Februrary before planting anything. ;)

Here's the first few gardening vlog

2010 resolutions

I just want to take a few minutes to wish you an awsome year 2010!
And maybe to encourage you all to add some green resolutions this year.
Here are a few of mine and of course if you have some more, please share!
First the 3 Rs, recycle, reuse and reduce! Second buy local as much as you can. This will of course take less energy to transport products and encourage you local economy. Because even if all the "major" countries are thinking of China to salvage their economies.....we all know the best way it to buy "home made" products. I know I will and even if I live in a "minor" province of Canada...this is very doable. One last resolution idea...plant something! ;)
