![]() ![]() Like other gardeners we were already in the growing food mode when COVID hit, and watched with some mirth others scrambling to learn how to grow food. Last month we joined the Kelowna Garden Club and went to our first meeting which was wonderful.įortunately I was raised in a gardening and farming environment – fully valuing the many benefits of growing my own food: organic eating, physical exercise, mental health, food supply … What to plant where, how to rotate our gardens, what companion planting for the new season, what worked the year before, what didn’t…? Such discussion helps us get through the indoor cold weather doldrums, psychologically helping us stay positive until we can actually start gardening. The day after Christmas our minds set to planning and analyzing our third of an acre yard. Tez and I live for spring and summer and having our hands in the dirt. In a home where shopping by catalogue or online is largely reserved for seed and plant catalogues in March and not Christmas gifts in November – March and April can never come soon enough. ![]() Not sure about you but I had reached critical mass of dull day indoor depression – though I’d not realize it until I went outdoors into the crisp yet bright sky. Regardless, the sun is out and thank you for that. Now it’s stuck in my head like one of those bad songs that just won’t go away. I have no idea who or where that grammatically wrong stanza hails from, only that my mother use to regularly lovingly blurt it out in jest when spring arrived. ![]()
