I started planting the year’s tomatoes today. We’re putting in 54 ‘Latah’, 51 ‘Ropreco’, and a dozen or so of an unnamed Burmese variety. Next year we’ll be growing a greater variety of varieties, as our seed company, long dormant, has re-germinated and will require a wide assortment of tomatoes, particularly fast, tough determinate varieties.

This morning, after the rain stopped, I realized that all the onion flowers in one section of the field were occupied by sleeping bees. Some of the blooms, such as that pictured at right, held more than one bee. I watched them closely, and found that, once in a while, one of the bees would [...]

Three years ago, when we had first moved to Quadra and were living in Open Bay, we inoculated some freshly cut alder logs with shiitake and oyster mushroom spawn. We watered them a few times that first summer, then forgot about them. When we moved to our current home, in February of 2011, we brought [...]

Our first intern of 2013, Nena, is leaving the farm tomorrow morning. She is from The Netherlands and has been living and working with us since early April. She has moved countless wheelbarrows of manure, and planted thousands of onions and leeks, and laughed at most of my jokes. She didn’t complain once in over a [...]

I took an unexpected hiatus from blogging over the past week or so, as I’ve been expending all my energy on planting and having a series of expected minor planting-related nervous breakdowns. I’m back now. Some readers may have been asking this question regarding my absence:

This is going to be an exciting year for tent caterpillars in these parts. I pruned fruit trees all over the island this winter, and cut off many hundreds of tent caterpillar egg masses in the process. Caterpillars have now started to hatch in great numbers on trees everywhere. At right are some infested branches [...]

Come on down to the HBI on Wednesday, April 24th to hear me go on and on about growing tomatoes outdoors in our less-than-ideal-for-outdoor-tomato-growin’ west coast climate. I’ve got lots to say on the topic, and lots of photos to show. 7.00 pm.

At the end of August we seeded some escarole into beds from which we’d recently harvested a crop of storage onions. The seed came from our friend’s father, who mailed it from the south of France. In November we covered the immature plants with a low tunnel to help them survive the winter. In late [...]

This species of fungi has been following me from garden to garden since the first time I used cardboard to sheet mulch a pathway, back in the summer of 2006. It typically fruits at the interface between pathway and bed, growing out of the carbon-rich sheet mulch materials. The little cups thrive tucked into the [...]

Out most cherished late winter tradition, which involves Jessica cobbling together a light stand inside the front door of our yurt while I make unreasonable demands regarding it’s design, is now complete. We typically start the indoor seeding season with alliums in late February. Right now 80% of the light stand is occupied by various [...]

We grew a tremendous quantity of green onions last year. I was excited about them in the spring, and we made many, many successive plantings between march and July. It was all a little too much harvesting, eating, and distributing that many bundles of green onions, but it was a learning experience. This year we’ll [...]

I’m working on a post about the overwintering cabbages we are growing in the field, but it isn’t finished yet, so here is a photo I took of an unplanned plant community in a patch of disturbed, compacted ground in the field. These “weeds”, heavy emphasis on the quotation marks, are performing a multitude of [...]

In 2006, while living in suburban North Vancouver, I planted about 30 square feet of ‘Laxton Progress #9′ peas, and about 20 square feet of some sort of snow pea. I recall standing in that garden in July, enjoying my bounty of delicious pods, and knowing that one day I’d have more space, and would [...]

For the 2012 CSA season I used a scrap of plywood as the background for photos of the weekly vegetable harvests. I used it for some shots this winter as well, but am considering retiring it for something a bit more classy. For the photo at right, of an assortment of vegetables we picked yesterday, [...]

March is typically a difficult month in which to have a wide variety of fresh garden vegetables ready for harvest. We’re finally making progress in eliminating the ‘hunger gap’ months of late winter and early spring in our field, and lots of careful planning and some tunnel construction have been paying green, fibrous dividends. While [...]

I’ve got six more days of winter pruning scheduled for the 2013 season. It has been my best winter pruning season yet, by a enormous margin. For the past six weeks I’ve enjoyed a combination of remarkably calm winter weather and a plethora of beautiful trees to work on all over the island. I’m already [...]

Komatsuna has been a miraculous winter crop. We’ve experienced significantly milder and dryer conditions this winter than normal, which may account for the success of our unprotected, early-August-sown crop of this most delectable green. We began harvesting leaves off the plants in October, and continued through late December, and which point the komatsuna harvest slowed [...]

Next year we’ll grow most of our winter chard in a low tunnel, as I expect yields will be higher and the plants will be much happier with some cool season protection. For years I’ve tried to keep chard producing over the winter without protection, and I’ve had very mixed results. The images in this [...]

Jill Cloutier’s Sustainable World Radio podcast is a continual delight. This morning, as I drank coffee and fiddled around in the field, I listened to a two part interview with Doug Weatherbee that resonated so strongly with me that I ended up arriving late for the job I had scheduled. I also ended up completely [...]

What a difference one month can make. We did two plantings of autumn/winter-harvest kohlrabi last summer: The first, in mid July, was in 2″ pots, the resultant seedlings being planted out in the field three weeks later. The second planting, pictured in today’s post, was a direct-seeding on the 14th of August. While the mid [...]

This journal abstract put me in a good mood. Clubroot is a terrible, terrible disease. There was a severe infection at the last farm we worked on, and there seems to be a few minor infections spread throughout our current field. If that bacterial treatment works, it may make my life a lot easier. Change [...]

Jessica and I will be ordering seed from a total of ten companies for the 2013 growing season. The seed company I’m most excited about right now is Adaptive Seeds, based near Crawfordsville, Oregon. Their online catalogue is both beautiful and inspiring. The food plant varieties they offer are utterly fascinating and many are of [...]

The plant pictured at right, Barbarea verna, is very happily growing through the unmulched openings in a bed we sheet-mulched last spring. The gaps in the sheet mulch occur every three feet down the centre of the bed, as they are the openings from which tomatoes grew last season. This plant has many, many common names, [...]

I love stumbling upon people who are writing about precisely the sorts of things I spend most of my time thinking about. This is worth every second of your time. Exploring the intersection between permaculture theory and dirty hands, boots on the ground permaculture practice is one of the most interesting aspects of my job. [...]
