It's 18.35 on the 4th June (happy birthday Grandma). So just another quick blog to let everyone know what we've been up to. Monday was a pretty average day, we had a lot of seeding to get done so that took first priority. This simply involves filling small cell trays with compost and putting a seed in each. Sounds boring I know, but it's not unlike just sitting around a kitchen table - easy work and sociable too. As well as the potting, we also had a little planting of peppers in the greenhouse to get done, as well washing out 40 odd boxes for the box program the next day. Not really much else happened on Monday, just the usual evening routine, and bed relatively early. Tuesday was a more interesting day. It was the ... read more

It's 17.35 on the 30th of May. So today i write a little about Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week. This blog probably won't be quite as long as the last few, as I'm just writing about work days. So Tuesday. This was our first day of work back at Meadow Sweet, and it was another day for us to prep the boxes that were sent out to the locals. So, in the morning we set about cutting herbs and cleaning the boxes, as well as cutting heads of lettuce to be bagged. Once all the harvesting was done, we headed to the orange Barn to package and box up the produce. This took a surprisingly short amount of time, even though there were 36 boxes to fill, and we were finished by lunch. After ... read more

It's 21.35 on the 16th May. I've decided that it would be a good idea to give a brief sentence description of the weather before I go on to talk about each day, as I rarely mention the weather unless it is directly relevant to something else in saying. However I decided this just a minute a go so I don't have any temperatures for this blog. Anyway, for next time. So Thursday. We got up, a little late admittedly, by 9am - and headed out to work. Matt and I started by potting the near endless numbers of Lunchbox peppers in the large greenhouse, while Rosie and Kate finished off clearing out the greenhouse we had begun weeding and composting the afternoon before. Once we had done this, we all headed to another greenhouse to ... read more

Hey everyone! Since we're too lazy to bother telling you all individually, Molly and I decided to do this blog about our travel adventures. By the way, we decided to up and leave Montreal to travel the United States! We both bought Discovery Passes- it's something Greyhound offers where you can buy 7-,14-,30-, and 60-day unlimited travel passes. The catch was, the last day you could purchase one was the 30th of September, so as much as we'd love to return and see all your beautiful faces, we're taking advantage of this awesome deal and opportunity to see (as Molly likes to put it) 'Murica. We are currently in Toronto visiting family, and will be heading to Kelsey's place in Oakville for a few days, and a turkey weekend at her cabin in Michigan. Our first ... read more
