A blessings is having a loving ,helpful family.
Yesterday, we made a trip I look forward to at least once a year to Bradford Greenhouses.
It is thrice jpleasurable. A drive into real country that used to be within two minutes of my front door.
Rolling hills ,well-kept green fields, the breeze from the lake behind the hills "Borne like a zephyr on the soft summer air"
Garden plants are freshly grown,competitively priced and in great variety. Those out of my
financial reach are a joy to behold. They increase in variety every year and are not to be seen elsewhere in the vicinity.
Pots, garden ornaments, furniture,and this year a ladies boutique reminding of Granville Island.
Every year it grows. Of course it gets busier. But the best thing is that it is local enterprise going
from strength to strength like things always used to be.
Effect of York Region's "Northern Solution " (a sewage treatment plant on Lake Simcoe) remains to be seen . if it gets past the environmental process.
We were a garden party .Heather, Adam and Stephanie.
We were a garden party .Heather, Adam and Stephanie.
Stephanie has two garden composters cooking and two worm culture bins producing all the time.
Even she was amazed by this Spring's production. Of course it creates work but that's all the cost. It is our contribution to the environmental health of the planet.
As well, it provides delightful surprises in our garden.
Now I must go into Wikipedia and discover if snails are an aid or hindrance in the garden. We have a bigger army than Vladimir Putin.
Stephanie is off to read for a play in Kitchener.

Hope she gets the part.
Here are two opposing comments:
"Garlic spray gets rid of snails at my place.
I made up some garlic juice spray (1 gal. water, 6 tsp. garlic juice) in my sprayer.
I have noticed an immediate drop in the population. They might have went back to the neighbour."
"I have a pet garden snail. And I'm looking to buy a few more for him.
Does anyone know where I can buy a few little common brown snails?
Any help would be appreciated."
There are usually two sides to everything.
Thanks for sharing.
I think it is possible that your snails are due to the amount of rain we have had this year. And there is more of the wet stuff on the way as soon
as the Street Sale has ended.
A perfect day for the street party too,,
Now that was a weird storm !
No rain tonight - maybe we are done for a wee while ?
