If you’ve been paying attention, you’ve noticed that the posts have been few and far between, and that I casually mentioned that I moved. No longer in what’s considered Montreal proper, I’ve moved into a more country-like setting so I can finally have my own garden on a modest piece of land. It’s quite a change, and I’m still getting used to the routine of going to and from work, but as long as I stick to my goals for this house, the future looks promising.
Speaking of goals, this means the silk screening project will have to wait a bit. The house is the priority, which needs a bit of work. Understandable, I think, given the new circumstances.
All in all, I’m so glad not to have to deal with landlords anymore. Especially ones who don’t respect tenants’ rights.
This year, we won’t be planting very much. No, this year is for observation, planning, and preparation in anticipation for next year’s growing season. A medicinal plant garden in the front, and a raised-bed vegetable in the back. That is what we’re hoping for. And, all vegan-organic to boot!

Hi mean soybean,
Thanks for the link over to my site!
So exciting to hear about your homesteading – even if you’re just in the thinking, planning, observing, and trying-to-get-the-house-renos-done mode! I find myself in exactly the same position with my new home (did we both move at exactly the same time?) I’ve managed to eke out a tiny plot for carrots, beans and a few random herbs, and thrown some old logs in a square shape on the yard where I think the most sun hits – a place to start piling cardboard and mulch for next year’s no-till garden! But that’s all the playing i get to do, since we have to re-side the house, paint the inside, re-do some steps, etc etc … and I have to get a job here too!
Anyways I hope you will keep blogging & occasionally show us what you’re up to in your new home!
Best,
J.
