Happy first day of spring! 🌱🎉 I celebrated by planting a flat of basil seeds. 😊 I picked a mix of Genovese and Greek types, my faves. How did you mark the arrival of spring?

See you next weekend! Bring your seeds to swap!

A golden splash of sunshine with these chrysanthemums to start off the week💛☀️ Wishing you all a happy Monday🌼 #flowers #gardening

It’s almost seed catalogue time! What are you planning to start from seed this year?

Ontario's proposal to remove these 7,400 acres from the Greenbelt (and replace it with 9,400 acres elsewhere) is open for public consultation until Dec. 4. You can share your thoughts on their plan here: #comment" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ero.ontario.ca/notice/019-621…

Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs & Housing is seeking feedback on proposed changes to the #Greenbelt that would remove or redesignate 15 areas of land & add lands in the Paris Galt Moraine area. Provide your feedback on these proposals by Dec. 4, 2022:ero.ontario.ca/notice/019-6216

Rain is coming 🎉 and this is your friendly reminder to go harvest all ripe or almost ripe tomatoes from your garden. Why? A sudden influx of water can cause fruits to split or crack. Best to harvest them now.

There must be about 2,000 monarchs at the farm nectaring on Meadow Blazing Star flowers before migrating south. Really incredible to see. The bees and beetles are working too—which hopefully means a solid seed harvest this year.

First day of summer: 🔥 Hotter than heck out there. Remember to water your pots and seedlings, compost, and stay hydrated! 💦 (Time to start thinking about seed-starting fall crops indoors, to put them out late July). Happy Gardening! 🪴
