Diggin' in!

Finally, the last of my seed orders arrived today! While my seed orders from all over Canada arrived several weeks ago, I have been patiently waiting for my American seeds, and now I can finish the last of my milk jug cold frames. This is something new that I am trying this year and, fingers crossed, I have at least 30% success. Last year, I cleared out all of my living room furniture to start my annuals and perennials (about 500) under a rotating schedule of grow lights. While I loved having an exceptionally green living room in the trailing months of winter, it was a little hectic at times and my house became so humid that I often thought that my walls were weeping. Hopefully, this year will be a little drier (inside and out) and my little milk jug experiment will pay off. I have 15 jugs so far, but hope that I can have 30 before spring finally hits. While I feel like I have abandoned my seeds to the elements this year, if nothing else, it has afforded me the opportunity to play in the dirt again!!

Check out this tutorial for a cheap and easy way to grow & harden off your perennials.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Whatever your feelings are towards February 14th, I send you well wishes for today!  If the top row of the above image depicts your sentiments towards Valentine's Day - hang in there, it is nearly over.

Nevertheless, good luck making the most of today/tonight!

Mona Lisa...A Dude?

Hello My Faithful Followers,

I forgot to post my latest discovery. I heard on the radio a few days ago about the Mona Lisa's latest theory. It seems that it may not be a self portrait of da Vinci, but perhaps the image of his former assistant and lover. Maybe there is more to his smiling than we could ever know about...

Hello My 2 Faithful Followers,

Today in ECMM 470 we had fun altering Wikipedia. I grew-up in fun-filled Lyalta, Alberta. I added a brief addition to its gripping history. You can read about it by going to:

Have fun and keep on reading.

Round One?

Here is my first attempt at a blog or anything fairly technical for that matter. I am attempting to create one in the effort to gain some credit in my ECMM 470 course. Be in touch soon with hopefully something a little more enlightening to relay...
