Today I was joined by the Goddess of the Garden Connie and we set out to plant a garden jam packed full of Hollyhocks. The desired effect is that of a 'colour explosion' directly in front of Home Farm and it was decided that Hollyhocks would be perfect for the job. Connie's gardening expertise spans years and includes highly esteemed, formal training in a distinguished temple in Kyoto, Japan.
We got stuck right in; Connie is meticulous in her planting which is fantastic for me, as her student, as I watch and learn from her intently. I was on 'water' and 'manure' duty ( both key) and before we knew it all three flats were in the ground just in time for the fifth electrical storm of the day.
I am very excited as to how the garden will look and will keep everyone posted!
1. Why - So - Seriousssss. The Bat is Back.. and hopefully not on the tail of the Joker. Here is a brief video of our resident Bat keeping guard on Home Farm against notable tyrants and/ or mosquitos ( hurray ). Bats normally roost in trees or caves but due to burgeoning urbanization, bats can often be found in man-made structures, with a particular favorite being attics. The bats in Ontario migrate or hibernate during the winter months and the most common is the 'little brown bat', possibly what I saw today but rather difficult to identify from where I was standing with my limited 'Bat' knowledge.
