Too young for WW1, too old for WW2, my grandfather lied about his age and went off to fight for our freedom. We owe them a debt that cannot be repaid, except by holding the line that they drew in the sand. #lestweforget #remembranceday #Canada

25 pounds of parsnips, not a bad harvest! #gardenersofbluesky #vegetarian

Little Ricky, always showing up to help with the dishes just as I finish 😂 #catsofbluesky #adoptdontshop #gingercat

Most Canadian celebration ever

Picking some veg for dinner from the garden. After 3 nights of -4c those parsnips will be delish! #gardenersofbluesky #vegetarian

My family wisely put me in charge of veg and pies for Thanksgiving. #Thanksgiving #gardenersofbluesky

My pumpkin pie recipe takes forever to make. It starts in April when I sow my pumpkin seeds. #gardenersofbluesky

NEW: Vehicles registered to Doug Ford's cabinet ministers have been caught by automated speed cameras more than 20 times. In one case, they were driving 70 in a 40 zone. On average, they were 17 over the limit. #OnPoli globalnews.ca/news/1146373...

Here's a peaceful moment for you from central Ontario

Tomorrow is October 1st, but the garden is still producing! #vegetables #vegetarian #gardenersofbluesky

Who needs coffee when you have Stevie? #dogsofbluesky #adoptdontshop

Very happy with this big beauty #tomato #gardenersofbluesky

Loads of jalapeños coming on now! #gardenersofbluesky

I'm already tired of #pierrepoilievre chirping nonsense, and parliament isn't even sitting. #canadianpolitics

Planning dinner and the garden is bursting with choices! #gardenersofbluesky #vegetarian

Edmonton Public Schools has decided that Margaret Atwood is too dangerous for youth to read. As is Brave New World. 1984 is banned by Grade 9s and younger. This is the MAGA machine of Danielle Smith in action. Perhaps a public book burning will reassure the base. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I didn't make the bocconcini, but I grew everything else on my dinner plate #gardenersofbluesky

My bean harvest is complete! #vegetarian #gardening

Getting some dangerous trees taken care of before they come down on the house... #treesofbluesky

The tomatoes are FINALLY starting to ripen! Right now it's just the cherry varieties, but some very chunky slicer types are soon to follow! #tomatoes #gardenersofbluesky

The "ambassador" from a hostile nation blames Canada for having stood up to American threats and attacks on our economy. We need to hold the line. Any backtracking in the hopes of striking a deal with these gangsters will be seen as weakness.

The female is pregnant. Animal services said they are sure someone dumped them. They are now in the care of the Humane Society. I hope they find the loving family they deserve, & whoever ditched them to give birth alone in the bush absolutely gets what they deserve 🤬👿☠️ #dogsofbluesky #adogisforlife

These dogs showed up at my door. I'm in the middle of nowhere 34,000 hectares of wilderness behind me. no collars or tags were they dumped? Who knows, regardless they are safe now. Can't keep them I have 3 rescue dogs already but a no kill shelter is on the way to collect them. #dogsofbluesky

Although my Peachtree is on her last legs, she has pulled herself together for what may be her last harvest 🌱

Teen climate activist (my son) needs Canadians to respond to a 2-minute survey to help him build data to bring to local Cdn politicians to urge them to make it easier for Canadians to donate used electronics for reuse (after wiped clean) and recycling.

@mark-carney.bsky.social Don't buckle.We can't trust any deal made with Trump. His word means nothing, clearly as he won't even honour the CUSMA agreement he signed. Hold the line for Canada.

I adopted Ricky when he was a kitten A runt with upper respiratory infection,hernia,deformed jaw, & despite his health he had been neutered at 6 weeks. My vet thought he would die. I carried him inside my shirt for 2 wks for warmth while we treated him. He made it & my arms are still his happy place

#OTD in 1921, Canadian scientists at Toronto University discovered the pancreatic extract insulin, paving the way for modern diabetes treatments. Read about the archaeological study of ancient microbial DNA: archaeology.org/issues/september-october-2016/features/microbiome-ancient-dna/

Making strawberry basil ice cream the old fashioned way. Hand churned, many hands make light work! #summer #icecream

Not sure what kind of fruit this is... #catsofbluesky #adoptdontshop

My tadpoles are growing legs! I feel like a proud mum!

So happy to see how well the zucchini are doing, after a disappointing harvest last year! #gardenersofbluesky

Monarda and hydrangea giving #Canada vibes #bloomscrolling

@mark-carney.bsky.social Don't back down on Canadian dairy! We need to protect our farmers & support small family dairy farms. Trump will always have another excuse, just look at how he speaks about fentanyl pouring across the border from Canada when that simply isn't true. Protect Dairy in Canada!

When you buy a watermelon, do you cut it up right away and put the pieces in the fridge ready to grab, or do you slice as you need it?

90 minutes in the garden, 12 deer flies 🌱 #gardenersofbluesky #deerfly #Ontario

4 types of dried beans, corn, raspberries, and garlic, the allotment garden is filling in nicely. 🌱 #allotment #gardenersofbluesky

And suddenly the raspberries are ready! #raspberries #smallholding

A morning well spent! Now, jam, or pie, or crumble, or cake...? #strawberries

Malcolm and Ricky have found their perch at the cottage #catsofbluesky #adoptdontshop

They're saying on the news that if you see an animal left in a car, "keep calm, and call police or animal control". If I saw an animal locked in a car in this weather, I wouldn't give a crap about the law. I'll smash your window, go ahead and sue me. #petsofbluesky #dogsofbluesky

Waited too long to remove the pool cover and the tadpoles have claimed my pool #frog #herpetology

If you are working outside in tall grass or bushes, watch out for ticks. I wear disposable coveralls, you can re-use them again and again, they give great coverage and you can spot ticks so easily! #ticks #outdoors #Lyme
