Happy Long Weekend, It's a bit early but it certainly is feeling like time to plant. The Thyme in the title is reference to the direction towards creating a more self sustaining environment through Biodiversity.
Odds are good that our gardens, yards and spaces will be more self sustaining, resilient and productive if we make room for more types of plants. Diversity not mono culture is natures way.
So when you're planting your tomatoes, plant basil (they improve the growth of each other) and plant marigolds (they deter soil nematodes and attract beneficial insects). Make room for more types of plants and watch nature in action.
Reminder(with all the rain, the 5th Line just past our laneway is closed)
- no access from the South (25th sr)
- access through 5th line and Willoughby rd, 90Hwy side
