There's still some squash left in the field, and not including the 5 hubbard squash and 5 pumpkins I harvested last week, this is about 50 kilos of squash. It should see me through to next year's harvest. Very pleased. #vegetable #gardenersofbluesky

You know it's a big squash when your secateurs won't fit around the stem to harvest it! #gardenersofbluesky

October 2nd and the garden is still producing. 6 liters of cherry tomatoes, 4 liters of green beans, 4 eggplant, 7 zucchini, and 2 cukes. I'm leaving the squash and colder weather veg for now. #selfsufficient #homestead #vegetablegarden #gardenersofbluesky

On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we acknowledge and reflect on the deep intergenerational harm residential schools have caused to Indigenous families and communities. Art by Elaine Landry #OrangeShirtDay #EveryChildMatters #TruthAndReconciliation
A handprint on an orange background. The handprint is broken into segments, inside of which are different symbols representing elements of Indigenous culture, including animal paw prints, landscapes with trees, and other images drawn from nature. There is a large black eagle feather on the left side of the handprint, and bird silhouettes appear in the upper left hand corner of the image. The words EVERY CHILD MATTERS appear at the bottom of the piece.

I had to go down to the city for 30 hours, so I harvested everything that was ready. I just got home, and this is what grew while I was away! #gardenersofbluesky
A lot of tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, green beans, and eggplant

The Ontario govt took $60M out of public education and handed it to Staples. Tomorrow, 80K elementary teachers each get $750 of the misappropriated money to buy overpriced classroom supplies at an 🇺🇸 corporation. Please remember this the next time Captain Canada tells you to #BuyCanadian. #OntEd

The Americans seek guaranteed access to our energy and minerals, want to control our trade, defence budget, and languages, and desire tariff-free market access. It's like they want all the benefits of a province without being one. GFY 🖕

I've dealt with a lot of ticks over the years, never seen one this small. For scale, it is set against a piece of lined paper. I pulled that stealthy bugger off back of my leg. Since I didn't know how long it had been there, I went to the drug store and got the preventative antibiotics. #tick
