Heading into Summer

Well there is a lot to be a house owner. Very different than the condo, that is for sure. But part of being in this great community is belonging to different groups.

Right now I am watching the ferries come and go from the office while the sun dances on the water, but in a while I am heading off for a meeting. This community is working hard to grow more of its own food; to be sustainable.

We have a big back yard, and I am not much of gardener, but I can learn.

Summer Onions

One of the best parts of housesitting is getting to live with other people's gardens. In the countryside outside Powell River we stayed on an acreage with an enormous garden.

The whole month we ate fresh tomatoes and peppers from the greenhouse and all kinds of fresh summer fare.

When the rain headed into it's second week it seemed time to pull the onions out of the ground before they drowned. I am not sure how many we pulled up but more than 50 at least.

What lovely sweet onions they turned out to be.. I am sure they will last the homeowner the whole winter long.
