Spring weather is taking its time to arrive in Ottawa, but trying to toughen up the hazelnut seedlings, grape and elderberry cuttings despite it. They will get planted into the food forests soon enough... #restorativeagriculture #perennial #permaculture #ottawafoodforests

Food forests are bursting! Cherries, currants, pears, saskatoons, not shown, apples, plums, shiitakes, aronia, gooseberries and the heartnuts and hazelnuts loaded with catkins... strangely also, angelica has reappeared, from a year hiatus, looks like it may be an exciting year!

We 'done good'... incredibly worthy goals of building a resilient food forest to mimic nature, create refuge for pollinators & fauna, improve soil & create a more food secure city! thanks to all the volunteers! #redbarnfoodforest ottawafoodforests.com/2019/05/26/rac…

Thanks to all the volunteers, to Tree Canada for the all the edible trees and to RVCA for all the butternut seedlings! I look forward to watching the new section of the community food forest grow and flourish! #redbarnfoodforest ottawafoodforests.com/2019/05/26/rac…

To jam or not to jam, that is the question...

Prepping for mushroom cultivation workshop... shredding straw, a dirty job... and what an exciting week for King Stropharia harvest, several kg worth so far!

That was such a fun event... cool follow-up, we are now in discussion with another local 'compost enthusiast' to build several more aerated static piles to take this experiment of a 'quick & easy hot air system' further... motherearthnews.com/organic-garden…
