It's later every day. Still nice, when it arrives.

#GoodMorning #Bonjour

I was super tired last night.
A city appt., so I dug up & moved Fruit Trees to justify the drive: Apple, Apricot, Cherry, Haskap, High Bush Blueberry & Nectarine. I ran out of light. Finishing now.
I was waiting for #Dawn.
It's just before Sunrise and looking across the ocean the first light is orange over the horizon. The trees are black or dark the house is in the distance on the other shore

We've had rain for at least part of the day everyday since last Friday, with plenty of wind

And it's been getting progressively colder

All that to say, I'm not sure how many #yellowThursday opportunities are left this year

Going big this week, just in case

Six images of yellow, or yellowed, plant life, taken yesterday and today. From top left: an opening coreopsis bud is one of the remaining flowers in my planters from late spring; the leaves on my backyard tree have turned yellow and most have dropped; I spotted at least 8 new blooms on my grape tomato plant yesterday; a small forested area along the edge of a harvested field reads mostly as yellow and orange; a few false sunflowers and black-eyed Susans continue to hang on to their rays; and the leaves of a haskap bush are turning bright yellow

Just made a sweet little trip to Montreal to see a lovely friend passing through from the US. 💚 @glitter-femme.bsky.social We came across some fun street art in Mile End. And discovered that Fairmount Bagel is now selling haskap-rubbed salmon which is totally delicious! I love this place.

Day 28 #SciArtSeptember prompt harvest. 🧪🐡 Echoing my print of insects for Manufactured Ecosystems about the future of pollination this print is intended to drive home how much we are dependent on insect pollinators. These are many of the food crops we grow here in Ontario which benefit from 🧵
As described this is my 16” x 20” linocut print illustrating food crops grown in Ontario which benefit from insects. In a circle in the centre is text carved to appear hand lettered, printed in black. Arcing upwards reads “OUR FATE”. Horizontally across the middle reads “IS TIED”. Arcing downwards in smaller text reads “TO THAT OF THE”. Arcing downwards in larger text on the second line reads “INSECTS.” Scattered around the words are fruits, berries and life sized vegetables. Clockwise from top: cranberry, eggplant, green bean, apricot, field cucumber, blueberries (both low and high bush), gooseberry, plum, raspberry, pole bean, haskap, pumpkin, peach, watermelon, sour cherry, cantaloupe, currents, kidney bean, zucchini, apple, snap bean, acorn squash, blackberry, pear and in the centre: tomato, yellow pepper and strawberry.

Stage 1 of another gardening project is nearly complete

It was a slog

I fought against invasive vines, stubborn roots and tough trunks

I broke tools and dulled blades

It's taken two months and I still need to weed and edge the bed

But once I stepped back from planting? A bee came

On the left, a large rose of Sharon and a half-dead honeysuckle vine grow against an old fence On the right, everything in the left picture has been cleared away, replaced by blue-stemmed goldenrod, thimbleweed, turtlehead and Sweet Joe pye weed. These native plants were installed next to a fruit garden, to encourage more pollination On the left, daylilies and a rose of Sharon grow next to a blueberry bush On the right, everything has been cleared to make room for a second haskap bush, and more native plants, such as black-eyed Susans On the left, a large yew and a failing clematis grow near a concrete pad and a barbecue On the right, everything has been removed to make room for more native plants, such as blue lobelia and obedient plant. Some plants have been added as placeholders, until I can grow similar native plants from seeds

A series of photos of invertebrates I saw in my yard today: a bee on a stem of bright pink veronica; a candy-striped leafhopper rests on a bright green haskap leaf; a red admiral butterfly briefly rests on a false sunflower before quickly departing; a candy-striped leafhopper nymph, which is a vivid green with red markings, hides on the underside of a milkweed leaf; and an irritated spider retreats after I cleared away the dead foliage it was hiding behind

Dinner at my favourite Yukon restaurant: Bonton & Co. An appie, three small plates and a big piece of cake for two We each had two cocktails and a glass of wine. Had a few leftovers! Bill: $197.00 before tip, so $100 each. Superb food featuring as many local ingredients as they can get/use. #food 🍜
Two bright pink cocktails on a wooden table next to a paper menu. There is a big layer of foam on top of the drinks. The glasses have a generous layer of pink, floral salt on the rims. Haskap and hibiscus sours. A white ceramic bowl filled with bright green Castelvetrano olives, big, soft chunks of feta and cut up fresh herbs. A bright purple drink in a coupe glass: lavender and lemon martini. A brown bowl of food. Bowl half filled with brown pickled mushrooms on a smear of soft white cheese dressed with green microgreens. Other half of bowl filled with slices of rustic bread smeared with chopped herbs and greenish olive oil.

A little while back we got a point of haskap berry sorbet and I am totally converted to Team Haskap Berry, where have these things been all my life

We have to pick them ahead of the birds, we can net some and those still growing in 5 gallon buckets, I just set in the greenhouse away from the birds until they finish producing berries. We eat them in cereals, jams, pies, even in salads.
Two bowls of Haskap berries. Here showing purple and blue long berries

Is it a day of getting random overdue shit done? Perhaps. But it's also a day of my aunt delivering a haskap rhubarb crisp, which means bonus dessert night.

Also looked at replacing the Purity apple partridge berry jam that I finished at breakfast yesterday but went with a Nova Scotian Haskap preserve.

Picture of Indigo Gem Haskap aka Honeyberry, which looks like uncircumcised penises.

100% understandable, i'm looking for an excuse to start my own lil' bar just so i can have this local hibiscus/haskap gin around in my house

If you find yourself in Swan River MB sometime you can pick those haskap berries for free at the farm tended by Craig and Carol Larson.

Today's flowers and incipient flowers: daffodil, haskap, plum, apple. 🌱

#NorthernGardening
#Permaculture #HappyPollinators #FoodForest #Spring #FirstFlowers
A bright yellow daffodil pops out of some Sidcup mulch, surrounded by smaller yellow and blue bulb flowers Some pale yellow nearly trumpet-shaped flowers and a single unfurling green leaf grow from the ends of an otherwise bare haskap (also known as honeyberry) branch Clusters of buds swell into round green incipient flowers on a plum branch Small, still tightly-closed apple blossom buds inside a corona of brand new leaves grow from spurs on an apple tree branch

A Refreshing Sip of Orchard + Field From Garnet Valley Ranch
With this hot, sunny weather, sipping a more fruity, lower-alcohol, drink is probably high on your list.  Fortunately, I received a bottle of ORCHARD + FIELD, from Garnet Valley Ranch in the Okanagan.  This drink is a blend of organically grown heritage apples and berries (haskap, but may have other berries as well, as there is no full description of the blend) at Garnet Valley Ranch to make this sip at just 5% alcohol.

Oh no, I’m growing haskap now, so I’m probably doomed if I don’t cover them. I did plant for the birds, so I’m not being stingy- I saw the waxwings harvesting serviceberry and hawthorn, which I planted a lot of.
