What’s Happening On March 30/2023

Good Morning!

It’s a sunny morning here for a change. However, the sun might be up this morning and showing itself, but it’s cold outside with the temperature sitting at -12.1 C | 10.22 F. lt will warm up a wee bit as the day moves forward. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, which will make travelling good for those in need of a few things in the cities.

We have had a lot of melting over the past week or so, but we still have a good foot of snow in most areas around our home. It will be nice to get rid of it all. Once the snow gets down to a couple inches, it won’t take long then.

On another note, I am still working away on my new Mystery Novel and today should get the ending wrote. After that it is editing and putting it into book size along with setting things up, so it can be read on a book reader. Still lots to do, but it is at least wrote, other than a few changes I might make while editing.

With that, I am off for Florida Grapefruit along with a couple pieces of raisin bread that my lovely wife is making for me.

Have a great day! GW

Raspberries

Today I would like to chat about growing, planting, and caring for different kinds of raspberries in Northern Ontario, Canada.

First off, it should be noted that Raspberries are a delicious and nutritious fruit that can be easily grown here in the north, or for that matter anywhere. Well … other than the desert. There are many different varieties of raspberries, but the two most common types are red raspberries and black raspberries. In this post, I will go through the process of growing, planting, and caring for both types of raspberries.

Red Raspberries

Red raspberries are the most common type of raspberry and are known for their sweet taste. They are typically grown on upright canes and produce fruit in the summer. Here are the steps to grow red raspberries in Northern Ontario:

  1. Choose a suitable location: Red raspberries require full sun and well-drained soil. Choose a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
  2. Prepare the soil: Loosen the soil to a depth of 12 inches and mix in organic matter like compost or well-rotted manure. This will help improve the soil’s fertility and drainage.
  3. Plant the raspberries: Dig a hole deep enough to accommodate the plant’s roots, and plant the raspberry cane at the same depth as it was in its container. Space the plants 2 to 3 feet apart in rows that are 6 feet apart.
  4. Water the raspberries: Water the raspberries thoroughly after planting and keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
  5. Mulch the raspberries: Apply a layer of organic mulch like straw or wood chips around the base of the plants. This will help retain moisture in the soil and prevent weed growth.
  6. Prune the raspberries: In the first year, prune the raspberry canes back to about 6 inches above the ground. In subsequent years, prune the canes that have produced fruit and leave the new canes that will produce fruit the following year.
  7. Fertilize the raspberries: Apply a balanced fertilizer in the spring and mid-summer to help promote healthy growth and fruit production. I prefer Natural Fertilizers such as cow manure. If you have to buy a commercial brand, make sure all the numbers are the same. An example would be 10-10-10.

Black Raspberries

Black raspberries are less common than red raspberries but are known for their unique flavor. They are typically grown on trailing canes and produce fruit in the early summer. Here are the steps to grow black raspberries in Northern Ontario:

  1. Choose a suitable location: Black raspberries require full sun and well-drained soil. Choose a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
  2. Prepare the soil: Loosen the soil to a depth of 12 inches and mix in organic matter like compost or well-rotted manure. This will help improve the soil’s fertility and drainage.
  3. Plant the raspberries: Dig a hole deep enough to accommodate the plant’s roots, and plant the raspberry cane at the same depth as it was in its container. Space the plants 3 to 4 feet apart in rows that are 8 feet apart.
  4. Water the raspberries: Water the raspberries thoroughly after planting and keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
  5. Mulch the raspberries: Apply a layer of organic mulch like straw or wood chips around the base of the plants. This will help retain moisture in the soil and prevent weed growth.
  6. Train the raspberries: Black raspberries are trailing plants and require support. Install a trellis or support system to keep the canes off the ground.
  7. Prune the raspberries: In the first year, prune the raspberry canes back to about 6 inches above the ground. In subsequent years, prune the canes that have produced fruit and leave the new canes that will produce fruit the following year.
  8. I hope this might be of some help, and have a great day!

What’s Happening on March 29/2023

I found that statement above to be true. But in saying that, my old Dad had a lot to do with who I am today. He taught me well. And I miss him!

Good Morning!

It’s another cloudy morning waking up, and it is still a touch cool with the temperature sitting at -1.3 C | 29.66 F. It will warm up a bit as the day moves forward. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, which will make travelling pretty good. For my wife and I we have what we need for now, so we will be staying put. On another note we are still burning wood for heat but in saying that we are getting low. I would think we have another four days left before we have to start burning some oil. We were hoping we wouldn’t have too, but such is life.

Yesterday I worked steadily on this new book I am putting together, and today will do the same. I almost have it finished. Once that is finished, I will get into editing it and then put it into Kindle Form and Paperback. There is a lot of work that goes into a book other than writing it. But so far all my books have paid off.

With that, I am off for a bowl of cereal or maybe some pancakes and then see what the day has in store. We were hoping to get some front porch sitting in yesterday, but the wind was too cold, and today don’t look or feel that much better. My wife and I are getting tired of seeing white instead of green when going outside. But there isn’t anything we can do about it, as Mother Nature does what she wants. At least for now. I say that as some countries are experimenting with different things, trying to change Mother Natures ways. Personally, I think that is a bad idea, as in doing so they could/will cause a whole mess of problems. Some think we have a problem now with our environment, well, let me tell ya. If these people keep playing with it, I shutter to think what is going to take place. Anyway ….

Have a great day. GW

Growing Strawberries

In this blog post, I will discuss the steps you can take to successfully grow strawberries in Northern Ontario, Canada.

Choosing the Right Variety

The first step in planting strawberries in Northern Ontario is to choose the right variety. Some strawberry varieties are better suited for colder climates, while others may struggle to grow in the region. Here are some varieties that are well-suited for Northern Ontario:

  1. Honeoye: This variety is known for its early-season production, and it is well-suited for colder climates.
  2. Jewel: This variety is a mid-season producer that is also well-suited for colder climates.
  3. Allstar: This variety is a late-season producer that is known for its large fruit size.

Preparing the Soil

Once you have chosen the right variety, it’s time to prepare the soil. Strawberries prefer well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. In Northern Ontario, the soil may be heavy and clay-like, so you may need to amend it with organic matter such as compost or aged manure.

It’s also important to ensure that the soil has a pH level between 5.5 and 6.5. You can test the pH level of your soil with a soil testing kit, which can be purchased at a local garden center or online.

Planting the Strawberries

Now that your soil is prepared, it’s time to plant the strawberries. You can plant strawberries in the spring, as soon as the ground has thawed and the soil temperature has reached 45°F.

Here are the steps to planting strawberries:

  1. Create a planting hole that is wide enough to accommodate the plant’s roots.
  2. Set the strawberry plant in the hole, making sure the crown is level with the soil surface.
  3. Fill the hole with soil, being careful not to bury the crown of the plant.
  4. Water the plant thoroughly to help settle the soil around the roots.
  5. Space the plants about 12–18 inches apart, with rows spaced 2–3 feet apart.

Caring for the Strawberries

Once your strawberries are planted, it’s important to care for them properly to ensure a healthy and productive crop. Here are some tips for caring for your strawberries:

  1. Water the plants regularly, especially during dry periods. Strawberries require about 1–2 inches of water per week.
  2. Mulch the plants with straw or other organic material to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
  3. Fertilize the plants with a balanced fertilizer, such as a 10-10-10 formula, in early spring and again in early summer.
  4. Protect the plants from frost in the spring by covering them with blankets or tarps.
  5. Control pests and diseases by monitoring the plants regularly and taking action at the first sign of a problem.

Harvesting the Strawberries

After caring for your strawberries for several months, it’s time to harvest the fruit. In Northern Ontario, strawberries are typically ready for harvest in late June or early July.

Here are some tips for harvesting strawberries:

  1. Pick the fruit when it is fully ripe and red in color.
  2. Use a sharp knife or scissors to cut the fruit from the stem, being careful not to damage the plant.
  3. Harvest the fruit regularly to prevent over-ripening and spoilage.

I hope this gets you motivated enough so that you plant a few this spring. I know I am. Have a great day. GW

Good Advice for a Tuesday Morning!

Good Morning!

It’s a cloudy morning here in Northern Ontario. It’s also a bit cool, with the temperature sitting at -7 C | 19.4 F. The good news is it will warm up a lot as the day moves forward, and a bit later on this morning the sun will make itself known. Highway 522 is bare and dry, which will make travelling good today.

In saying that, my wife and I did make a trip to North Bay once again as we wanted to take advantage of a sale that was on. It’s about the only way we can afford anything nowadays. Ha ha. It was a touch cloudy when we left, but an hour into our drive, the sun came out and stayed with us for the remainder of the day. Can’t beat that.

While there, we picked up our lunch, but this time round we tried a new restaurant … the meal was just terrible! So bad we couldn’t eat it and had to throw it away. $30.00 down the drain. The worst part about it was that it was my wife’s birthday. I will have to make it up to her the next time in town. We have found though, that it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find good places to eat. The same thing is going on in some of our grocery stores these days. It amazes me that they can get away with it. I can understand it in part as … well, I won’t get into that, this morning. I am thinking most of you knows exactly what is going on without me elaborating on it.

Today I will continue on working away here at my desk, however if the sun does make its appearance, and it warms up some I might just do some front porch sittin’. We will see how that works out.

With that said, I am off for a Florida Grapefruit, a Raisin-bun and half a bowl of cereal that my lovely wife is making for me. Them Florida Grapefruit are delicious these days.

Have a great day! GW

What’s Happening on March 26/2023

My wife and I want to say……

It’s a cloudy morning here, waking up with the temperature sitting at -1.4 C | 29.48 F. Not all that bad considering where we live here in Northern Ontario, Highway 522 is partially snow covered this morning caused by the snow we had yesterday. Which amounted to about 4 inches or so. However, today the temperature will rise well above the freezing mark, which will melt a lot of what we did have. On the downside of the coin, the snow is quite heavy this time round. I am not sure if I will clean my driveway or not. I am kinda thinking Mother Nature put it there, why not let her take it away.

I will see how that goes after breakfast.

On another note, once again I worked away here on my new book I am writing and will do the same today. I like to keep at it while ideas, happenings and characters are fresh in my mind. And as I said before, I don’t want to be sitting inside once the warmer weather arrives, which isn’t that far off. I tend to think of fishing then more than writing then. Ha ha.

With that, I am off for some pancakes with an egg on top, along with a bit of Mike Clappertons World’s best, Maple Syrup that my lovely wife is preparing for me, and will then see what the day has in store. As a matter of fact, Mike is right in the ‘Thick of Things’, brewing up this year’s syrup.

Have a great day, make it a great day. GW

What’s Happening in and around our small town On March 25/2023

Pearls of Wisdom. My Old Dad used to say something like that years ago when things were bothering me. I sure miss having him around.

Good Morning!

It’s a cloudy morning, waking up with the temperature sitting at -1.5 C | 29.3 F. With it hovering around the freezing mark, we could see some snow later on today. Highway 522 is bare and dry so far this morning,

On another note, my wife and I took a trip to North Bay yesterday to pick up some supplies. It was a great day weather wise with sunshine overhead both ways. The stores were also busy, and we also noticed that there are a few that are still wearing masks. Surprisingly, most were young, but in defence of us older folks, we did see a few of them as well. Which is a good thing, with all the sickness that is all around us these days. My wife and I are still wearing ours when going into stores, and places with a lot of people. We also keep a container of Clorox Wipes in the car to wipe things down when going and coming from stores, along with a wash cloth or two.

Some claim they have a right not to wear a mask, and I agree with them.
But we have the right to wear ours as well.

My wife and I have had enough issues going on for the past few months. After we picked up the things we needed, we had our lunch in our car while chatting about things, which a lot don’t do today. Actually, a very good friend of ours was talking about that, just the other day. I mentioned that could be why so many people’s marriage doesn’t last these days. He agreed. We then headed on home, taking in what nature had to offer. One thing about living where we do, we are surrounded by trees, lakes and streams. And it is always changing, in a good way.

With that, I am off for a bowl of cereal and a piece of toast this morning, and will then see what is in store. I probably will get back to working on this new novel I have in the works. Take care & have a Great Day!!

A Bit on Harvesting your Winter Garlic

Garlic is a wonderful addition to any dish, and growing your own winter garlic can be a rewarding experience. Winter garlic is planted in the fall and harvested in the spring, making it a great crop for cold weather climates. Here are some tips for harvesting your winter garlic:

  1. Timing: Harvesting your garlic at the right time is crucial to getting the best flavor and shelf life. The bulbs should be mature, and the leaves should be brown and dying back. This typically happens in late spring or early summer, depending on your location and the weather.
  2. Preparing the soil: Garlic grows best in well-drained soil that has been enriched with compost or other organic matter. Make sure to remove any weeds or other debris from the soil before planting your garlic, and consider adding a layer of mulch to help retain moisture.
  3. Planting: Plant your garlic cloves about six inches apart and two inches deep in the soil. Make sure to cover the cloves with soil and water them thoroughly. Garlic requires a lot of water during its growth, so make sure to keep the soil moist.
  4. Harvesting: When the leaves of your garlic plants have turned brown and the bulbs have matured, it is time to harvest them. Use a garden fork or shovel to loosen the soil around the bulbs, then gently pull them out of the ground. Be careful not to damage the bulbs or the roots.
  5. Curing: After harvesting, it is important to let your garlic cure for several weeks. This allows the bulbs to dry out and develop a papery outer layer that will protect them during storage. Hang the garlic in a warm, dry place with good air circulation, such as a garage or shed.
  6. Storing: Once your garlic has cured, it is ready to be stored. Remove any loose dirt or debris from the bulbs, but do not wash them. Store your garlic in a cool, dry place with good ventilation, such as a pantry or basement. Do not store garlic in the refrigerator, as this can cause the bulbs to sprout.

Harvesting your winter garlic can be a lot of fun and a rewarding experience, and it can provide you with fresh, flavorful garlic to use in your cooking throughout the year. By following these tips, you can ensure a successful garlic harvest and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

I can’t wait till mine is ready to dig. Nothing like fresh Garlic.

A Bit on Chaga

Chaga is a medicinal mushroom that has been used for centuries in traditional medicine. It is known for its potential health benefits, which include boosting the immune system, reducing inflammation, and fighting cancer cells. In this blog post, we will discuss how to use chaga and how to harvest it.

What is Chaga? Well, I’ll tell ya.

Chaga, is a type of mushroom that grows on the bark of birch trees. It has a dark, hard, and crusty exterior, and a soft, orange-brown interior. Chaga is rich in antioxidants, including polysaccharides and phenolic compounds, which may contribute to its potential health benefits.

Using Chaga

Chaga can be consumed in various forms, including as a tea, powder, or tincture. Here are some ways to use chaga:

Chaga Tea: To make chaga tea, you will need to first harvest the chaga. Then, you can break the chaga into small pieces and steep them in hot water for at least 30 minutes. You can also add other herbs or spices, such as cinnamon or ginger, to enhance the flavor.

Chaga Powder: Chaga powder can be used to add a nutritional boost to smoothies, oatmeal, or baked goods. You can either purchase chaga powder or make your own by grinding dried chaga in a coffee grinder.

Chaga Tincture: A tincture is a concentrated liquid extract made from herbs or mushrooms. To make a chaga tincture, you will need to soak chopped chaga in a high-proof alcohol, such as vodka or rum, for several weeks. The alcohol extracts the beneficial compounds from the chaga, creating a potent tincture.

Harvesting Chaga

If you want to harvest chaga, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First, it is important to only harvest chaga from living birch trees, as dead or dying trees can contain harmful bacteria and fungi. Second, you should only take a small piece of chaga from each tree to avoid damaging the tree and to allow the chaga to regenerate.

Here are the steps to harvest chaga:

  1. Look for a birch tree with a chaga growth. The chaga will be a dark, hard, and crusty growth on the bark of the tree.
  2. Use a sharp knife or chisel to carefully remove the chaga. Make sure to leave a small piece of chaga on the tree to allow for regeneration.
  3. Clean the chaga by scraping off any dirt or debris. You can also rinse it with water and pat it dry.
  4. Store the chaga in a dry, cool place, away from sunlight.

Conclusion

Chaga is a potent medicinal mushroom that can be consumed in various forms, including as a tea, powder, or tincture. If you want to harvest chaga, make sure to only take a small piece from living birch trees and to leave a piece of chaga on the tree to allow for regeneration. With proper harvesting and preparation, chaga can be a valuable addition to your health regimen.

Starting Your Vegetables Indoors, getting them ready for spring.

Starting your own vegetables indoors is a great way to get a jump start on your spring planting. Not only does it give you a head start on the growing season, but it also allows you to choose from a wider variety of plants than what may be available at your local nursery or garden center. Plus, it’s a fun and rewarding activity that can be enjoyed by gardeners of all skill levels.

To get started, you’ll need a few basic supplies:

  1. Seed trays or containers
  2. Potting soil
  3. Seeds
  4. Grow lights or a sunny window
  5. Watering can or spray bottle

Here are the steps to starting your own vegetables indoors:

  1. Choose your seeds: Start by selecting the vegetables you want to grow. Some great options for indoor growing include tomatoes, peppers, herbs, and leafy greens like lettuce and spinach.
  2. Prepare your containers: Choose seed trays or containers that are deep enough for the roots to grow, and make sure they have drainage holes at the bottom. Fill the containers with potting soil, leaving about half an inch of space at the top.
  3. Plant your seeds: Follow the instructions on the seed packets for how deep to plant the seeds and how far apart they should be. Gently water the soil after planting.
  4. Provide light: Vegetables need plenty of light to grow, so place your containers in a sunny window or under grow lights for at least 12-16 hours per day.
  5. Water regularly: Check the soil daily and water as needed. Use a watering can or spray bottle to avoid disturbing the seeds.
  6. Thin and transplant: Once your seedlings have grown their first set of true leaves, thin them out so there’s only one seedling per container. When they’ve grown large enough, you can transplant them outside into your garden.
  7. Harden off: Before transplanting your seedlings outside, it’s important to gradually expose them to the outdoors over a period of several days. This will help them adjust to the cooler temperatures and stronger sunlight.

Starting your own vegetables indoors may take a bit of effort, but the rewards are well worth it. With a little patience and care, you can enjoy a bountiful harvest of fresh, home-grown vegetables all season long.

I hope this helps a wee bit. GW

Good Morning!

It’s a sunny morning here for a change, with the temperature sitting at -6.2 C | 20.84 F. It will also get warmer as the day moves forward. However, tomorrow we could see some more snow, with another storm heading our way. Kinda depends on which way it tracks, along with how warm it gets. If the temperatures rise, the storm will be mostly rain. If the temperatures hang in around the freezing mark, we will get snow. So it’s hard to determine what we will be getting. But it is that time of the year, being in transition, that we can expect just about anything weather wise. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, which will make travelling good for those having to go to the big cities for groceries. Joys of living in the sticks. And the prices some of these companies are demanding for things, along with the high cost of gas/fuel oil, makes the situation worse.

It always amazes me how we are misled into doing things we shouldn’t be doing.
They are also doing a terrific job of influencing the way we think.
They offer you a little something to get you on their side and agree with them, then they take it away, and everyone is pleased.

Again … it makes me shake my head in a not so good way. But it has been happening from the beginning of time. These leaders, they like to call themselves, know exactly what they are doing, don’t kid yourself.

They say on the news, day in and day out; “I am here to help you.” I say, “THAT’S THE PROBLEM!”

Anyway, that’s my rant for this morning, ha ha. Have a great day. GW

Good Morning!

It’s a cloudy morning, waking up. We are also having a wee bit of rain. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at 3.3 C | 37.94 F, The winds have switched from the North to the South West which in turn will usher in some warmer weather. I have to admit that it has been a struggle for old Mother Nature getting things in order for summer. It will warm up more as the day moves forward. We could get up to almost 45 °F/7 °C, which will definitely get rid of a lot more ice/snow. And if things goes to plan, we might see a bit of sunshine later on today. The lakes, rivers and streams are melting fast these days, so it’s not a good idea to be crossing them with snowmobiles. It’s time to put them away!! … And bring out your ATV’s.

On another note, once again I worked steadily all day yesterday on a new novel I have on the go, and will continue on with it today. I am closing in on the ending now, setting things up for the next one. But I won’t start it till next winter. I don’t want to be sitting in the house in front of a computer when the weather is nice.

With that, I am off for some pancakes that my lovely wife is making for me, and will then see what the day has in store. Life is a mystery, that’s for sure. But … I like it that way.

Have a great day.

Breakfast Time? One asks.

Good Morning!

It’s a cloudy morning here, waking up. The sun was out earlier with a red sky, so … I am thinking we could see some rain. Red sky in the morning, Sailors take warning. But, we could use some rain, and if you mix it in with some warmer temperatures, which we are going to have today, we should get rid of some more snow. Which is fine with me, as I am looking forward to some front porch sitting; looking at green instead of white. The highway is bare and dry for now, which will make travelling good. Although in saying that there are a lot of deer roaming around close to the highways these days. Where you see one, there is more, so it would be in your best interest to keep your eye’s peeled, when out and about. “Eyes Peeled?” It’s an old saying thought up many years ago.

On another note, yesterday I worked away on the first of a series of Mystery/Sci-fi books, and I expect I will do the same today.

With that, I am off for a bowl of cereal that my Lovely Wife is preparing for me. Have a great day! GW

What’s Happening On March 21/2023

Good Morning!

It’s a cloudy Tuesday morning here in Ontario, Canada, and the temperature was sitting at -5.1 C | 22.82 F. It will warm up a bit more as the day progresses. And tomorrow it will be even warmer. Later on today we should see a bit of sunshine, and if my lovely wife and I can find a place out of the wind and snow, we might do some front porch sitting, which would be nice. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, but we did have around an inch of new snow overnight.

Yesterday I worked once again on my new Mystery / Sci-fi Novel, and today, hopefully, will do the same. You never know what a day might bring when it comes to writing. Some days the words flow with no effort at all, and other days it feels like you couldn’t string a sentence together to save your life. The main thing though is to keep writing. You know, I’ve also found that some days what I write seems to have no meaning at all. Then, when I go back over it, a day or so later, I see all kinds of good properties in it. Occasionally ‘another story is born.’ If there is one thing I have learned over the years, when it comes to writing: “Never discard anything you write, no matter how bad it seems.

Have a great day!

Good Morning!

It’s a sunny morning here, waking up. It is still a touch cool, with the temperature sitting at -3.1 C | 26.42 F. Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning, which will make travelling good for those needing some things in the larger cities. Our snow hasn’t melted much with it being so cold, but it should start now with the warm weather starting to show itself. We didn’t have any new snow overnight, which is fine with me.

On another note, yesterday I did manage to get a full day working on my new Mystery Novel, and if things work out I will do the same today. We will see how that goes.

Other than that, not much else happening in and around our small town these days. It won’t be long though before the town folks wake up. Most in Port Loring are like the Groundhogs, they hibernate for the winter. Including my wife and I.
Have a great day and stay safe. GW

What’s Happening On March 19/2023

Good Morning!

It’s a cold morning here waking up. The temperature getting out of bed was sitting at -15.1 C | 4.82 F. In saying that it is sunny. It will warm up as the day moves forward. And starting tomorrow the temperatures will rise well above the freezing mark, which will get rid of some more of our snow. I would say we have about a foot left on the ground.

Highway 522 is bare and dry this morning. We did have about an inch of new snow overnight. The sander rolled through a few times through the night. Lonesome old job for sure.

On another note, I didn’t do all that much yesterday on my new book, as I didn’t feel up to it. I will see how that goes today.

With that I am off for some pancakes my lovely wife is preparing for me and will then see what the day has to offer. You never know.

Have a great day. GW
