Pepper seeds, tomato seeds, and crossed fingers. 🤞

I have not had much luck with starting seeds indoors in the past. So, I hit the books and now might have a clue what I am doing (and what I did wrong in the past).

Chimayo Pepper
Early Jalapeno
King of the North Bell Pepper

Brandywine Tomato
Stupice Tomato
Sweet Pea Currant Tomato

I took my client out to Welland Community Orchard & wheeled him around the community orchard park. He had never been there before & loved seeing everything there. It was a lovely post-lunch outing.

These are some of the purple flowering broccoli plants that we grow in our raised bed food gardens at the community orchard park.

My first 2026 #strawberry #flower has emerged. Lots of flowerbuds are getting ready to bloom. After the blooms, come some of my early, sweet, homegrown #strawberries 🍓
This is in a large garden bed in the side yard - there's thousands of strawberry plants in that bed 😃
We love eating strawberries so we grow lots of them. I have 3 different varieties growing in our front, side & backyards & 2 strawberry planters on our back deck too.

Our pluot fruit tree is in full blossom. There will be lots of fruit produced by this tree 😁

Our mushrooms growing workshop sold out fast. There's going to be another mushrooms growing workshop, in the Fall. All the participants today, were delighted to make their own blue oysters grow bucket to take home.

Our next workshop at the community orchard is a fruit tree grafting workshop - which is sold out with a waiting list.
