What I sowed today:

Okra, romanesco broccoli, dill, rosemary, purple carrots, slim orange carrots & a cool cilantro pea plant - you can eat the peas & foliage tastes like cilantro. It's a new experimental food crop for me. I got the seeds from a local farmer friend.

Figured I should add our retail store here in #Chemainus to my profile which I just did. Here is our about page for the shop that along with my wife we have operated here in #CowichanValley for the last 11 years. We work hard to give the residents a local option for clothing and footwear without having to leave town or head to one of the big faceless online corporate outlets.

A #throwbackthursday to this wonderful hike on Maple Mountain in the #cowichanValley almost 10 years ago with friends. It was a perfect spring day and the vibrancy of the green moss on the coastal slopes of the mountain was magical.
