Another season of preserving the harvest is here! We got some lovely forced rhubarb from our neighbour, farmer Rick, this year that made the prettiest pink jam, with elderflowers picked from my garden and a little splash of St. Germain! Forced rhubarb is a specialty item, where the rhubarb is covered in the dark to stop it from producing chlorophyll, using the sugars stored in its roots from over the winter. A beautifully cream and pink stock grows in this environment, that is more delicate in flavour and incredibly tender! For this year, we will only have one batch of this limited edition forced rhubarb and elderflower jam, but hopefully next year we will have plenty to spare! Also experimenting with greenhouse grown green tomatoes for some early batches of chow to keep us stocked with local chow as we can’t produce enough in the short fall season to fill the demand! Local Stokdijk green tomatoes and NS onions! Delicious local tradition that we are happy to continue on!

Spring is in the air, couldn’t be more excited for another gardening season myself, and it is nice to see folks out fishing in the rivers, opening their cottages and wearing tshirts!

An espresso chocolate stamp cookie to go with your coffee and seed catalogues? It is almost time to start those tomatoes and peppers up here on the North Shore! We’ve got a beautiful selection of seeds from and in store! Great varieties grown and harvested here in Nova Scotia, so better adapted to last season’s weather and environmental factors! I always have great germination with these companies and they have the most fun heirloom varieties to give your garden a beautiful diversity of texture and flavour! Some pics from my garden last year using local seed! Can’t wait to be out in the sunshine with the birds and the bees.

Quiet February, and the sun is brighter and the days longer. It’s a beautiful, still place to be up here in Earltown. If you can, I highly recommend a hike in the woods or a drive through the hills. It is peaceful and there is no cell service. We’re squeezing through another winter, wood stove going and coffee hot!
