We live an exciting life,” my husband commented as he flipped a butternut squash on its side. We were at a grocery store on a Saturday evening. An attractive display of colourful squash and pumpkins caught my eye, and I pulled my phone out of my purse to take a photo. I stepped back to

In the past few weeks, I fielded questions for some of our extension agents while they took well-earned annual leave. I learned a lot about what people do as they harvest their bountiful garden produce. As the questions reached my office, I also began exploring the internet to see what was being shared by some

One of the best steaks I ever ate was at a meal served on a Manitoba Forage Council pasture tour. We’d bounced around on a bus all day, looking at rotational grazing systems and winter feeding methods. Then it was time for supper.

Eventually every year there comes a time when you can’t keep up to the tomato patch

By Getty Stewart September 6, 2016

Is there anything better than the first bite of a vine-ripened, sun-kissed garden tomato? As our first tomatoes ripen, we enjoy them just as they are on buttered toast or BLT sandwiches. As more become available there’s bruschetta, pasta dishes, pico de gallo (fresh salsa) and endless salads. My mouth is watering just thinking about

By Julie Garden-Robinson August 19, 2016

I remember bringing home a zucchini in my purse. Someone had handed it to me at a gathering, and my purse became a makeshift grocery bag. When I pulled the zucchini out of my purse, my daughter, who was preschool age at the time, looked at me in amazement. I think she wondered if I

Onions provide flavour, vitamins and minerals without adding a lot of calories

By Julie Garden-Robinson August 12, 2016

I always will remember the “year of the onions” from my childhood. I helped plant rows and rows of onion sets. I think we must have got a good deal on them. Usually our onions did not grow to be monster sized, but when harvest time arrived this particular year, we filled the back of

How to stay cool and hydrated in the heat

Extreme heat can have dire health consequences for every organ of your body

I figure my distant ancestors spent most of their time in cold climates with little exposure to the sun. They probably slogged through snowdrifts to reach their recreational icebergs, where they could dip their toes in freezing water. When the sun came out, they probably retreated to cold, dark caves.
