ohsweetie commented on Michael Nolan's blog post 'How the Dervaes Family Stole My Victory Garden'"Bah, this is annoying to no end. I am still in shock that their behaviour was/is condoned by anyone. Good for you for doing all the work to get this out there! XO"
ohsweetie commented on Andrew Odom's blog post 'Buying Beef From a Local Farm'"We are so lucky in our town when it comes to meat. There are two butchers in town. One is more of a traditional style but ALL of the meat in the shop is sourced from Vancouver Island. And a lot of it is local (minus the sandwich…"
Kristie Nackord commented on ohsweetie's blog post 'Squash Seed Saving!'"Good for you for wanting to save your seeds! This is one of the most empowering things we can do for ourselves, our families, community, and ultimately the planet! Squash need to be isolated to ensure OP (open pollinated seed), i.e. no cross…"

ohsweetie posted a blog postSquash Seed Saving!
So, I'm hosting Squash february over on my blog as a way to inspire you (and myself) to eat the backlog of winter squash you may have in your cold storage. I'm proud to say we've eaten around 50% of our stash, but still have 4 acorns, 2 butternuts, and 1 delica to go. And I only have 2 weeks left! YIKES! anyway, below is one of my posts on seed saving. it's a beginner's guide, that's for sure because i'm just learning too! XO…See More
ohsweetie posted a blog postRECIPE: Zucchini Gingerbread Loaf
This past summer I put up bag after bag of grated zucchini in my freezer and last week when I was doing a general overview of what we had left to consume from our cold box, I realized we hadn't yet eaten any of the zucchini. So I pulled a bag out and it sat in our fridge for a few days while I thought of what to do with it. And then I started craving gingerbread and the rest is history.There aren't a lot of zucchini gingerbread recipes out here on the internet. I found…See More
ohsweetie replied to Ellen Peavey's discussion 'No Dig Potatoes'"cool! i think it works no matter what. i think that's what the magic is :)"
