Harold Sloman, aged 14, of Clayoquot, had a great day's shooting lately, the bag consisting of 38 duck and 1 goose. Apparently the farming in that district rivals the sport as his mother can show from her garden 2 turnips weighing 53 lbs.
Sorry for the silence here, folks. Just a bit too busy and nothing much but mud growing in my garden. (Well, that's not entirely true. I still have some lovely parsnips waiting for a frost to sweeten them up and some lettuce and a few winter brassicas.) Have you planted your garlic? Now's the time.
