Potatoes seem to be doing well β¨ I think I may have put one potato too many when originally planting them but oh well! They're multicolored, tiny potatoes anyway π₯ We'll see in a few months #gardening #growingfood #foodgarden
the first leaves of the lettuce variety Australe breaking through the soil in a garden bed
new grape leaves opening on a small grape vine
a strawberry plant with one white and yellow flower blooming on it
a few baby potato plant leaves coming up in a garden bed
Signs of life in the garden: Lettuce seeds starting to sprout, new grape leaves, the first strawberry flower, potato sprouts breaking through the soil. #gardensky #cottagecore #selfsufficiency #foodgarden #spring #zone8b #hobbitcore #lettuce #potatoes #strawberries #grapes

A vegetable garden with many prepared beds being weeded and planted. The beds are temporarily marked out with lengths of pipe.
Getting on top of the weeds. The creeping oxalis is especially terrible this year. Beds are looking good - beets, lettuce, onions, garlic, and some peas are in. Today's plan includes carrots, maybe more peas, and cutting up seed potatoes. #homesteading #selfsufficiency #survival #foodgarden
a very tiny asparagus shoot next to a finger in a garden bed
I guess the asparagus I started from seed last year is still a bit small to do anything with π #FoodGarden #homesteading #selfsufficiency #gardensky
a garden bed full of freshly planted baby onion shoots
Bought and planted a bare root peach tree today, still deciding where the grape vine I also got will be planted tomorrow. 50 Walla Walla sweet yellow onion starts are in, added fresh rainbow chard seeds to the miserly plants already there. More tomorrow. Feels good. #FoodGarden #homesteading
a raspberry bush planted up against a wire fence
very long sedge rhizomes freshly dug from a garden bed with the parent plants nearby
A couple more garden pics for you. A newly-planted raspberry (for a total of 3 varieties now) and some whiteroot (AKA basket sedge, AKA Carex barbarae) freshly gathered from my own garden bed. No more driving 2 hours to forage for it! #basketmaking #fiberarts #foodgarden #selfsufficiency #gardensky
a garden bed with four kinds of lettuce seeds planted
a pile of long willow rods in a garden
madder plant shoots coming up between last year's dead leaves
a really big reddish brown millipede held in a hand wearing a green glove
Good weather for gardening. Lettuce planted, freshly cut willow rods gathered for making pea trellises, the madder's coming back to life, and I even found a cool friend. #zone8b #gardensky #homesteading #cottagecore #selfsufficiency #foodgarden #dyegarden #DIY #spring

A large number of reddish coloured sunchoke tubers are filling a metal pan to almost overflowing
Dug up about half of the sunchokes from my "cheap and easy" test plot. Approx. 3.7 kilos so far. Very happy with how round most are as well. We'll have a couple with dinner tonight. #permaculture #gardening #sunchokes #Jerusalemartichokes #food #foodgarden #perennials #nativeplants #ontario
A small, golden yellow cube sits in the bottom of a vintage glass teacup.
I decided to go with tea paste cubes to use the fresh grown ginger and turmeric. Added some lemon, pepper, a splash of apple cider vinegar and a bit of honey. They are frozen and ready to go into hot water for a fast, soothing drink. #tea #foodprep #ginger #turmeric #homegrown #foodgarden #herbal
A shallow metal pan is full of chunks of fresh ginger and turmeric roots, shoots and leaves.
Frost is likely tonight, so I took all the turmeric and ginger that was in pots. The leaves have a wonderful scent, and I'm looking forward to trying them in some dishes. (or maybe tea) #ginger #turmeric #food #foodgarden #organic #garden2025 #ontario
A tomato hornworm caterpillar clings to the bottom of a tomato plant stem. It is heavily infested with small, white, parasitic wasp cocoons on its back and sides.
Had a second round of tomato hornworms appear. These ones got left on the plants since they are carrying the next generation of free pest control! #bugs #insects #permaculture #organic #gardening #foodgarden #ontario #norfolkcounty #garden2025
The shiitake mushrooms have been trickling in but we're now getting a small flood. Also are thrilled that the blue oysters are starting to appear! #mushrooms #fungi #shiitake #oystermushrooms #permaculture #food #foodgarden #garden2025
I'm glad that the groundnut tubers I put in this spring are doing well. The beautiful flowers are a nice bonus! (I haven't tried eating any yet since I'm not sure if we got the type that might produce seeds) #flowers #bloomscrolling #groundnut #permaculture #nativeplants #gardening #foodgarden

A big pile of freshly picked tomatoes and garlic rests on a steel table. A few yellow raspberries and fresh turmeric are displayed in front.
We're getting around 1kg of tomatoes every second day right now. Took some garlic today as well as our first bit of turmeric. It'll be fun to try using it fresh! I'll leave the rest of it, and the ginger, until frost. #foodgarden #gardening #garden2025 #tomatoes #garlic #turmeric #yellowraspberries
We actually got some rain. I didn't even try to get the green beans. I'll do a big pick of them tomorrow. There are few more of the shiitake mushrooms on the logs, but I want them to get a bit bigger. #gardening #garden2025 #foodgarden #organic #permaculture #slowfood #norfolkcounty #ontario
A pile of fruit and veggie salad sits on a vintage, floral china plate. The salad has bits of bright green chopped kale and bright orange grated carrot mixed in with apple bits. A few sour cherries can be seen in it as well. Two pieces of wholemeal toast that are covered in eggs and cheese sauce can be seen in the background
Picking kale to make our fave salad. (served with Welsh rarebit and egg) Chopped kale and apples, grated carrot and preserved sour cherries. Then our tomato chutney, mayo and the cherry juice for the dressing. #food #kale #salad #slowfood #foodgarden #gardening #lunch #homemade

Close-up photo of a small, green tomato growing on a tomato plant in a cloth grow bag. There is another, smaller, lighter green tomato growing a few inches behind and above it. We can see the plastic sign that came with the Brandywine Tomato plant start sticking up from the dirt at bottom left. A cement wall appears in the background, as well as the dirt in the planter behind the bag, and a blurry little squash plant with one flower.
My first tomatoes of the season are growing π Happy that I bought this start, since the two tomato plants I managed to grow from seed are well behind this one. At least one of them has flowers now, but the other is only about 6" tall π€·π»ββοΈπ π #food #growyourownfood #foodgarden #nature
California Elderberries. One cluster of light blue native elderberries
The elderberry bush loaded with berries
Just harvested these elderberries. I am used to very dark berries and this is the first time working with them.

On the centre left of the photo, a somewhat dirty, cotton gardening glove rests on a weathered steel table. The back has a pile of red and black currants on it. The bottom middle of the picture has a pile of maybe 20, smallish, edible pod peas. The right side of the picture has 3 large red radishes, still with their greens. Right in the center of the photo is a single, small red cherry tomato.
Today's harvest. Our first (small) tomato! The red and black currants are going into applesauce for our breakfasts. #food #gardening #foodgarden #victorygarden #homegrown #norfolkcounty #ontario #garden2025 #slowfood #organic
A single, beautiful, red strawberry sits on white painted wood
The first strawberry of the season. I took it a bit underripe since the birds are not very picky. #strawberries #gardening #foodgarden #permaculture #berries #victorygarden

Excuse me, sir, you are not a Brussels sprout.
