Ground pepper video

The day before Christmas I decided to ground my chili pepper that had been hanging by the patio door.....here's the video....and it's a great way to store you excess peppers.

2010 planning!!!

It's been a few days now that the weather has been really wintery. Snow, wind and cold! So I've decided to start planning my many gardens for 2010. The more I do I realize that I'll have lots more cultivated space than in my first year. I'd say 3 to 4 times more. I hope it won't be too much. I guess I'll see!!! But just the planning part is new to me. I used to plant everything where it looked good. But with a little research I found some plants go well together. Even help each other out with bugs and nutrients. I used the resourses on the veseys website. It's one of the best canadian seed company and they are from the maritimes as I am. have a look if you want, lots of info. http://www.veseys.com/

Season's greetings

Well winter is here....to stay this time.

I suppose I'll keep quite for a while.

I'm currently working on a plan for my 2010 garden. Soon I'll order my seeds. I can't hardly wait 'till Spring!!!!

But in the meantime Merry Christmas.....or any other Holiday you're celebrating! =)

Here's a little gift...chicken wings recipe!

More first snow!

Finally winter has arrived. Took a long time this year. And even now it's raining so....But at least the ground is starting to freeze. Wich will be great for killing fungus and some bugs. So the outside part of my gardening is over. My indoor gardening is going ok......I could've cared for it better...but since I had so many small flies....I had to let the dirt get dry so the maggots die. But a plant with minimal water doesn't grow very well. Next year I'll start with new dirt clean of flies =) So have a great week!

Beware of rocks!!!

I don't have a picture for this entry because by the time I was finished there wasn't enough light. Late this afternoon I dug up a trench at the end of my yard for future asparagus plants. It's approximately 2 feet wide and 16 long. Since the seedling need to grow for 2-3 years before you can harvest.....you want a place out of the way so they'll grow quietly. Anyway......rocks! The spot where I dug was, like I said at the end of my yard. When my parents used to grow vegetable they threw all the rocks they found there. So today when I jumped on my shovel it didn't even go in! And I had a really bad time taking all those big rocks out. So what I want to say is throw your rock away for real. Not in a place you don't use. Because one day you may want to use it and will be really frustrated at yourself....or maybe your kids will be in the future =)

Oh and we are having really weird pre-winter weather. Normally there's snow and cold. But so far no snow, beautiful over freezing weather and just awsome Fall!

Composting more leaves!

Tonite after work....just before the sun went out.....I composted more leaves. This time I just added a huge load on my compost and covered it with garden dirt. When I take my greenhouse in the garage I'll use the dirt in the pots to cover some more leaves =) It's weird but I love composting!

Compost your leaves

Yesterdays I finally got around raking the rest of the leaves. There was a lot and I placed them in my larger garden. They will add precious organic materials to the dirt for next year =) I also cleaned the garage so I can put my car in this winter. Now I only need to find some help and put mt small greenhouse in it =)

Have a great week everyone!

Here's the video I made that day..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6Fvlj2GaL8

Happy Halloween everyone!
