Vanilla yogurt. A sweet treat for fowl.

These cute genetic dwarf nectartines have arrived at the farm. Variety is called nectarine 'gold prolific'. They only grow 5 feet tall in 10 years time! Perfect for a planter on your deck. Imagine deep pink flowers each spring followed by large edible fruit late summer. Juicy & Yum. My mason bee cocoons are now available too. Pm me for pricing.

I loves these 4 kinds of columnar apple that have arrived for sale. They grow 18 inches wide and only 8 feet tall! Perfect for a planter on your deck. Full size apples too. Google apple treasured red ,urban blush, urban red and golden sentinel.

I just want to show all you gardeners a wonderful plant from my garden that is not only an ornamental but also an edible. Look at the glowing white bark on this black raspberry. It is a variety called Munger. August it bears a lot of flavourful black fruit. I love garden plants with must season interests. I have a few in 1 gallon pots at the farm if anyone is interested.

Weeping Japanese maple at whonnock lake hall( maple ridge). Interesting branch structure of this mature specimen.

Who said a wind storm is a bad thing? Yes my power was out but the silver lining was most of the edible American chestnuts fell from the tree.This year I got more than the pesky squirrels! Boiled then baked, dipped in garlic butter- heavenly!

Not a plant this time but one of my roosters having a mud bath. Too bad he likes to attack me so he might go to summer freezer camp soon.

A BC native plant called oregon grape. Grows in my forest. Easy to see how it gets its common name. Not very tasty.

Well after 4 years my Giant Himalayan lily( cardiocrinum giganteum) has bloomed! Sad part is the main plant will die after forming seeds. One of the most fragrant plants in my shade garden.

My new gardening friend ask me to visit to see her 3 year old hardy outdoor cactus plant. It is starting to bloom and had about 100 flowers forming. This opuntia cactus produces edible purple fruit if the flowers are pollinated. Also, the pads are edible when you bbq the tiny thorns off. She has never covered it and it has had up to 1 " of ice on it a couple of winters ago( Mission). They leave the basement windows open all night as nobody in their right mind would try to enter. Ouch! A real treat to see.
