So far today, we've made homemade blueberry lemonade, chive blossoms vinegar (which will turn a beautiful purple and has a subtle onion-y taste that's great for dressings) and stewed rhubarb. How do you like your stewed rhubarb?

According to Native Orchid Conservation Inc, there are 37 species of native orchids in Manitoba! This includes various species like the Dragon's-mouth orchid, Grass-pink orchid, Fairy-slipper orchid, and Lady Slippers, like the ones pictured here. Lady Slippers are also known as Cypripedium parviflorum and typically blooms in late spring to mid-summer.

Hundreds of these grow around our acreage in Southern Manitoba. And we'll risk getting covered in ticks to get a close-up of these beauties 💛💚💛 ✌️

Happy Spring Equinox all 🤗 Certainly felt like Spring in southern MB. Sunny, warm. I even caught this sun halo this morning. A sun halo, also known as a 22° halo, is a ring of light around the sun caused by the refraction of sunlight by ice crystals in high-altitude, thin cirrus clouds. I was also doing some searches on the interweb today about the Spring Equinox and the difference between them and a Solstice. So, while solstices and equinoxes are related, they happen at different times of the year. Solstices are the longest and shortest days of the year, while equinoxes occur when the day and night are equally as long. Did you know that?

A cheap and inexpensive way to mark your garden rows 🌽🌶🫑🥒🥕🧅🍅

This is such a great idea to make with wooden spoons. Paint with whatever color you like, then add your lettering and plant name. Seal these well with a clear sealant, then stick in pots or your garden. (Rustoleum has a pretty durable, clear spray paint that will work.) From Playground Parkbench.

Our take on a plant-based borshch!
Add 1 medium onion chopped and 2 large carrots grated to a pot with olive oil and butter. Cook for about 5 minutes. Add 2 large beets grated, cip of chopped celery, half a cup of diced bell peppers and 2 cups of diced tomatoes. Cook for another 5 minutes and then add a few cloves of chopped garlic, stirring as needed for another few minutes.

Add 4 cups of broth, 8 cups of water, a couple of bay leaves, 3 large cubed potatoes and 1 cup of rinsed lentils. Bring to a soft boil. Add 2-3 cups of grated cabbage, 2 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of black pepper and 1 tsp of brown sugar. Cook 12-15 minutes. Once the potatoes and cabbage are tender, add 2 tsp of chopped or dried parsley and dill and 2 tsp of lemon juice. Enjoy 😉 ✌️

Did anyone catch the peak of the moon this afternoon 🌙 🌚 🌕 According to the The Old Farmers Almanac, it's called the Full Beaver Supermoon aka Frost Moon aka Freezing Moon. Whatever you call it, make sure you get outside soon and take a look 👀 It's stunning! ✌️

Might sound silly, but I wait all year for today. The day all my hard work gardening since June turns into my favourite condiment...SALSA 💃 My tomato harvest was amazing this year thanks to a warmer than usual Autumn. Peppers didn't do amazing but I grew enough to make a couple spicy batches of roasted tomato soup and this batch of salsa. If you'd like the recipe, check our highlights on Instagram. That's where I share all of our recipes. One pro-tip for a super easy way to peel tomatoes is to cut them in half and broil them until the skin blisters. Then you just pull it off like magic ✨️ Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful Fall 🍂 🍁 🍃 ✌️
