Seedy Sunday – the haul!

The first few shots are from the seed swap area alone… amazing! What an incredible selection… and all free! I was volunteering in the swap room for 2 hours, so I feel like I did my time and got amply paid.

All the swap seed together:

Tomatoes only:

Other vegetable seed:

No pictures of the packets of pea and bean seed, but there were quite a few.

And then these are my “paid” purchases: a couple of garlics, some zucchini seed… plus some neat knit-and-leather gardening gloves in return for a donation to the Perth-Dupont Community Garden. That’s where the broken garlics (Music) below came from. The whole garlic is from Cubits Organics.

… and here’s Naomi Rivka, helping me plant it all! Well, (l-r) Clematis virginiana, white boneset, nodding wild onion, blue false indigo and bluestem goldenrod. All native species, though I’m not sure I will actually end up planting them all out. The boneset does not look lovely, I must say.

The blue false indigo, actually, didn’t get planted, because the seeds need scarifying. Lacking sandpaper or any kind of file to rough them up with, I followed the package directions and am currently soaking them in hot water overnight (while letting the hot water cool off). I will hopefully plant them in the morning.

Oh – I bought some of Gayla Trail’s clever little garden buttons, too… but I’m too tired to take a picture of them now, and one of them (I {heart} dirt) is already missing. Waah! :-(((

All in all, a most tiring but successful day!

It's Heart Month: 3 days left to save lives!

Dear Friends & Family: Hi, everybody! Sorry I can’t stop by in person... you're a bit out of my area. :-) We’re out walking up and down on our street on this beautiful afternoon to raise money for Heart & Stroke. This cause is important to me (I won't say it's close to my heart , because that would be tacky!). I hope you'll join me by donating online. Growing up, I watched as every single one of my grandparents' lives were shortened by heart disease and strokes, and my father had a defibrillator that saved his life on more than one occasion. Heart disease and stroke kill 1 in 3 Canadians and are the #1 killer of women. Please click this link to be redirected to my main page at the Heart & Stroke website: http://tinyurl.com/AtlasHeart Thus ends my personal appeal. Official information follows. :-))) ----- Heart disease and stroke is the #1 killer of women - taking more women's lives than all forms of cancer combined. But no one is immune. Th
