VLOG Construction & Potatoes

It's very apparent fall is on its way with cooler days where it's been averaging around 15 - 25 C here in the Tiny Garden with the majority of days being around 20 and a few on the colder side and a few on the warmer side. I have definitely been missing summer that's for sure!

Today I'm sharing with you some of the construction that has been happening here and I'm going to finally harvest my first potatoes! I hope I'm not too late lol

VLOG - Harvesting and A SURPRISE

Today I talk about my harvest and I get surprised by something I found growing that I didn't expect.

This is a window into my life that I get to share with you my experience in urban gardening I call the Tiny Garden. In the Tiny Garden I have cucumbers, tomatoes, honeydew, green beans, kale and this year I am learning to can my produce so we can enjoy it longer and not waste as much.



Still looking for your recipes for canning salsa, pasta sauce and anything else with tomatoes.

Tiny Garden in August

Pre-Jamboree - Vancouver (pt. 1)

Well hello! I just got back this morning from our beautiful west coast, British Columbia! We had an overnight flight so I had very little sleep on the plane and on the ride home after. If something doesn't make any sense, well you've been warned!

I'm not going to jump right in to the jamboree because I still have a lot of writing to do and deciding what photos to share so I don't overload the blog. I also have a vlog to do on the Tiny Garden here because it has been over two weeks and wow are things really growing!

I just wanted to touch on some of our visit to Vancouver. We left here on a Saturday and headed down to the airport for an afternoon flight. Once we arrived in Van, we headed for our hostel to get all checked in. After a short explore we went to bed.

There is a three hour time difference that completely fucked with me and I'm paying for it now. So by 9pm our bodies think it's midnight and that's well passed my bedtime.
Our first night some of us overheard the actual robbery that brought these police. Other's heard the robber get tasered. Welcome to Vancouver!!


On Sunday morning we went to a place called Joe's Grill for breakfast. It was quite good, and I found this little community garden just down the block from it. My excitement is due to the fact that I'd never seen anything like it so I took a quick video about it. It may seem silly but just seeing a bunch of green in the middle of the concrete jungle blew my mind!

This is continued here

Another Jamboree

Well, we are leaving for a couple of weeks go to another Jamboree. We will be going to British Columbia this time, and of course I will post all about it when I get back.

If you want to read about my last jamboree you can find it HERE.

And here's the garden vlog that I did earlier today.

The Tiny Garden Progresses

I made some changes around here... hope you like it. Hell, you don't give a shit lol I tried adding a gadget that selects the most popular posts and puts them up top. Not sure if I like that yet.

Well here's the next installment in my vlog...
