And speaking of art, I'm participating (for the first time) in the annual Gabriola Studio Tour which starts Saturday and goes through Monday afternoon. Check out this promo video my wife Joelle made. If you're on the island, be sure to stop by our place which will be transformed into a photo gallery for the weekend. And while you're at it, visit all the other artists too.

ABC Wednesday > K is for Kale

Kale makes me laugh. I have been gardening on Gabriola for four years now and I've always had kale but never once have I actually planted it. It just appears as if by magic. I have an allotment plot at The Commons and most of my neighbours there grow kale on purpose so it's not surprising it would turn up in my soil. But this year, I've started growing food at home as well,  where there are no other gardens in sight. Lo and behold, guess what showed up a couple of weeks ago?
