It's not too late in the season to plant bulbs, including "the stinking rose"... aka Garlic! While some of the players in this story might no longer be farming, the message remains the same. Do YOU grow your own garlic? saltscapes.com/kitchen-party/…

As a pre-schooler, Rudy Croken would stand by the fence, waiting to watch his neighbour take out the car. His love of old vehicles continues. He bought his first antique car in the 1970s, and today owns classics ranging from 25 to nearly 70 years old. saltscapes.com/roots-folks/30…

Some people tire of their jobs and decide they want a change. Didier Laurent took that a step further. A former chief steward to the Belgian king, he gave up a busy life the court for a quiet farm near Rexton, N.B. saltscapes.com/roots-folks/35…

As each day draws to a close, we finish our tasks, tuck in the kids, let the dogs out for a last break, and then head to our bedroom for the night. But what greets you when you open that door? saltscapes.com/home-cottage/3…

For many people, an important feature to consider is a dedicated crafting space in their home. Some have a whole room devoted to their hobby—lucky ducks! For others, a “creation station” can be carved out of a space within a room. saltscapes.com/home-cottage/2…

This story was a gold medal winner at the Atlantic Journalism Awards in 2016, the 100 year anniversary of Beaumont-Hamel, a date that causes ache in Newfoundlanders to this day. A personal take on cannon fodder carnage in an assault in a senseless war. saltscapes.com/roots-folks/25…

The European conflicts stretched right to Atlantic Canada’s shores. In 2003 I attended the opening of the Juno Beach Centre, Canada’s Second World War museum at Courseulles-sur-Mer, Normandy. Juno is where 14,000 Canadian soldiers stormed ashore on D-Day. saltscapes.com/roots-folks/21…

Suddenly, we're just a few days out from Remembrance Day (it was just spring, wasn't it?) so we will be running a few stories from our archives in honour of all those who served or serve now. Beginning with this one by the late great Harry Bruce. saltscapes.com/roots-folks/96…

Happy November, friends! I imagine some have already had their wood stoves fired up on those cool mornings, and that reminded me of this story from our archives, a love song to a wood stove. saltscapes.com/home-cottage/9…

Local sweet potatoes are showing up at markets now, so good. Thankfully, some years back they exploded in popularity instead of just as a holiday dish, and are being celebrated as the versatile, nutritious, delicious veggie they are. Some great recipes! saltscapes.com/kitchen-party/…

Beer’s freshness, carbonation, and intricate flavours make it the perfect pairing with cheese. And while wine and cheese pairing are common knowledge, learning to pair beer and cheese can unlock a whole new world of flavour. saltscapes.com/kitchen-party/…

Fascination with the paranormal is one of those preoccupations that never seems to get old, no matter how stolid, settled, or rational we might believe we are. It also doesn’t seem to run according to type. saltscapes.com/roots-folks/34…

On the outer reaches of a two-hour drive from Halifax, there’s a place with enough erosion-sculpted red sandstone scenery to film a spaghetti western—Five Islands Provincial Park, where the desert southwest meets the misty northeast." saltscapes.com/roots-folks/31…

Fireplace season is upon us... What if you could double or triple the value of a fireplace? The hearth has always been synonymous with a warm and welcoming home, a place for the family to gather, a retreat to reflect in comfort. saltscapes.com/home-cottage/3…

How a childhood love of horses and open fields led Zoe Lucas to make a remote island her raison d’être. "I first saw Zoe Lucas, a wide-brimmed hat shading her face, standing on the landing strip—which, on Sable Island, is hard-packed beach sand." saltscapes.com/roots-folks/14…

Nova Scotia's abandoned islands have a legacy of restless spirits and spooks. As many a traditional storyteller crouched around a bonfire will tell you, there’s a misty aura that cloaks islands in mystique, stirring the imagination. saltscapes.com/roots-folks/18…

With Halloween approaching, we have a few spooky stories to share, including this one. There’s a lot more narrative diversity about unexplained phenomena in this corner of the world than some imagine. saltscapes.com/roots-folks/35…
