My garden oasis is now certified as a wildlife-friendly habitat. I encourage others to do the same. Sitting in my garden watching the different bees, birds, and yes, even the vegetable-eating bunnies, is a joy.

To certify you need at least 3 food sources, a water source, 3 areas to shelter, 2 green gardening practices, sustainable practices, and practice earth-friendly gardening (no chemical pesticides). Certify through the Canadian Wildlife Federation and make your garden an oasis for all sorts of critters, bugs, and birds.

It's September, and time to start thinking about your 2027 garden!

Existing Gardens: Take photos and note what went well and what didn't, what you liked and what frustrated you. Start your 2027 garden plan now and incorporate the changes - if you wait until 2027, you may not remember.

New Gardens or Expansions: If you're building new beds or garden areas, start planning them now. You may be able to build them this fall and be ready to plant in the spring. If you're booking a company to build them for you, now is the time to reserve your spot before they're all booked up - they're already booking for 2027, and everyone wants their garden built first.

Try New Plants:
- Different tomatoes, like the Indigo Rose, so beautiful.
- Tomatillos are easy to grow and are so interesting with their papery exterior.
- Herbs like French tarragon (perennial), marjoram, stevia (a tiny piece packs a sugary punch), or chervil (annuals). Chervil tastes like licorice and loves part shade. Pineapple sage actually smells like pineapple.
- Radicchio varieties add nice colour with either red or red veined leaves.
- Plant flowers in your vegetable garden. Nasturtiums, marigolds, calendula, and zinnias are great pest deterrent plants and add beautiful colour to the garden.

Did a walk through my garden this morning and surprise! My little zucchini went through a growth spurt. And I have my first red pepper - a tiny Cajun Belle!

Canning season is here!! Made a batch of pickles this morning.

My favorite is canning peaches or pears with just water and lemon juice. Eating them in the middle of winter brings me back to summer days.

I use the tried and true recipes from and . Easy to follow instructions and safe for storage.

A simple and amazing way to preserve your summer harvest to enjoy all winter.

Cabbage and Brussel sprouts love cooler weather and may be just starting to form. Ever wonder what they look like as babies?

Also threw in cauliflower and broccoli, since they are a family.

There's not mush room inside the crook of that tree! 😂

With the cooler nights a little bit of rain the mushrooms have popped up again. They are very beneficial to your soil so leave them in place if you can. If they are in the crook of a tree that may be an indication that it is catching water and the mushrooms are feeding on the rotting wood.

We have added a Gardens page to our website, www.gardentofork.ca. It highlights the beautiful gardens of our new and evolving gardeners.

Every garden and every season is different so it also highlights some of the challenges. My favourite being the squash that disguised itself as a patio cucumber. It couldn't hide it any longer when it started trailing across the deck and produced a yellow (definitely not cucumber) squash.

You can talk with 3 different gardeners and each one will give you different advice. Garden to Fork helps you figure out what works for you and your space. Then you get to find out what aspects bring you joy and how to embrace your garden. Every gardener is different and every garden has different requirements.

In my own garden, I could keep spraying the peas to keep the bunnies away but do I really need more peas or would I be happier seeing the bunny every day?

DM me if you want to come for a personal garden tour to see what is growing in the Garden to Fork garden and get inspiration and tips for your 2027 garden.

Garlic, shallot, and onion abundance!

Garlic - harvest when the bottom 3 leaves are brown.
Shallots and onions - harvest when they fall over. If you leave them after they fall over they are at risk of rotting.

Or harvest them as you need them. They are delicious at all sizes!

Dig them out, don't pull them out by the neck.

After you harvest them, don't wash the dirt off, let them dry in the shade. When the outer layer is dry, dust off the dirt, trim the bottom hairs, and remove the tops. Or, you can braid them before you dry them off. Hang the braid in your cold storage and they will keep all winter. As you can see in the last photo, I am still working on my braiding skills. I will hang them in my cold basement room and use them until next summer.

When you plant vegetables that need pollination, it's also helpful to plant flowers to attract more pollinators. Right now my garden is buzzing with so many types of bees. It's amazing to watch.

Check out the last photo. They honeybees are loving the abundance of pollen on the squash flower!
