Fall is undeniably progressing throughout my garden and the nearby provincial park. The vibrant hues that emerge during this season are absolutely breathtaking. It seems that there is an abundance of golden and fiery orange shades. There are numerous leaves on the grass in my front garden. Instead of raking, we opt to wait until all […]
It has been quite some time since writing notes about the progress of my Fintry garden. Once again as we reach mid October the summer just flew by. Along with doing a final sale on our property in the Shuswaps and then being away for a month overseas, the garden has been a little neglected. […]
The Beach at Fintry Provincial Park I decided today to dedicate a post to the many colors of fall in both my garden, Fintry Delta and Fintry Provincial Park. The fall colors have been exceptional this year I believe due to weather patterns. The trees in this area mainly turn yellow in contrast to other […]

I always seem to start off with the same sentence but once again this month has just flown by. Interspersed with camping trips, wedding photography and the start of fall clean up there certainly has never been a dull moment. Within the last week I have seen a significant shift in the garden and in […]
September is a great time to start cleaning up the garden and dividing up perennials that have become a little too invasive. There is no better time to do this, i.e. dividing, when it is raining. The soil is easier to work and even though it can get a bit messy, it makes it easier […]
