IG: Saturday squash harvest! 🙏🏼 2 more spaghettis 🍝. Right now I’m averaging 1 squash per plant which means my plants aren’t the happiest 😔 but they’re also quite crammed in. So excited to have more space for my garden at the new home! What are your plans for the long weekend?

So excited to have more space for my garden at the new home!
What are your plans for the long weekend?

IG: 🍑🍑🍑🍑Walked by a cute fruit and veggie store that was selling baskets of fresh Ontario peaches today. Naturally, had to buy one. Then, naturally, had to make a gluten-free peach crisp. Simple, delicious and bullshit-free, this baby is made of fresh sliced peaches, Canadian maple syrup, grass-fed butter, coconut oil, ground almonds, Himalayan salt and gluten-free oats 🙌🏼 (and that’s IT) PEACH CRISP! 🍑🍑🍑🍑 How are you spending your night?

IG: The fate of the majority of my tomatoes in my Toronto backyard garden 😔 Never actually eaten, just bitten to the extent of destruction and abandoned. After 4 years growing tomatoes here, I’m unfortunately accustomed to this… I tripled my planting of tomato plants this year, in hopes that more plants = a greater chance at me being able to save a few more than usual from the munch monsters. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Thank goodness I am a religious and these will never actually be “waste”; but instead will turn into rich food for next year’s garden 🙌🏼 C’est la vie

IG: Some extreme cuteness for your Friday 😻 This is the cutest guy I know. (Jeff, you’re next, maybe if you were this soft and fluffy you’d be first 😜) HAPPY WEEKEND! ❤️ Hope you’re surviving this intense full moon. Mercury retrograde is definitely putting a stick in my spokes the last couple days… anyone else?

IG: And I thought I might not get cucumbers this year because of the cold spring and then the groundhog catastrophe! 💁🏻‍♀️ Zucchini, on the other hand, not so happy for me this year. Ya win some, ya lose some 🤷🏻‍♀️ Jeff’s been itchin’ for my homemade pickles so looks like the universe listened 😁

IG: Feeling so off this week 🙇🏻‍♀️… Last week I was on fire but this one I feel just drained in every sense of the word. Physically, emotionally and spiritually exhausted 🙅🏻‍♀️. All’s well in my personal life, so there’s nothing I can attribute it to there, but the Danforth shooting so close by + the impending full moon + longest lunar eclipse this century will see (plus a lot of stress leading up to the closing on our new home) I’m sure has gotten this sensitive empath feeling all the energy and emotions and just wanting to be horizontal. I think I’m fighting something off too, because all my body wants to do is eat comforting foods and sleeps lots and nothing in my body feels right. I took a personal day yesterday and did just that, but today I’m trudging through with the glorious vision of doing absolutely nothing later on tonight. Hopefully in a few days I’ll feel back to my, still sensitive, but more peppy self. How are you feeling this week?

IG: More blooms 🌸🌸🌸! This is the time of year when it seems there’s a new bloom every day. And since I grew them all from seed, I never know exactly what colour I’ll get… every time it’s such a nice surprise! Today this deep bubblegum pink zinnia popped open in a planter I designed in the front yard and greeted me this morning. So beautiful ✨

IG: Wow, that rain really made everything pop! 🌱🌱🌱 Patiently waiting on my remaining sunflowers, zinnias, cosmos, nasturtiums, calendula, marigolds and astors to bloom to add more colour to all this green (not that there’s anything wrong with green 🙌🏼). What are you waiting on?
