Summer is here

After a long cold spring we finally got over 4 weeks with not a drop of rain. It got hot some days ie. 34 degrees which is practically unheard of here this time of year but now has settled into a quiet summer weather wise.

The kids are finished school.

The chickens are setting.

The ducks are grown.

And the garden is growing like mad. It's time to replant many things like beans where the spinach was and winter cabbage where the lettuce was. I know it seems weird to be talking about winter gardening in the middle of summer, but this is when you plant your seeds for winter and spring harvest. I'll talk more about this in my next post.

How are your gardens? Had any surprises or learn anything new? I sure have!

Work is good. I'm so grateful we have such wonderful customers at Nova Appliance. Please don't hesitate to call us if you need us. We service Nanaimo to Bowser but if you're really having a problem finding a good honest technician in your location we'll do out of area calls too as time permits and for an additional fee to cover gas. We're at novaappliance.com if you need us!

Kindest Regards!
