My Garden Project

Several months ago, I volunteered for an intervention! You are probably wondering why would I volunteer for an intervention!
This isn't just any intervention, it is special.
You see, even though I am a nutritionist that does not mean I am amazing gardener or cook for that matter.
Yes I can cook well, but I cannot for the life of me keep flowers or plants alive.
Back in April I attended a wonderful event in Toronto at Food Share and viewed digital stories of everyday people making a difference in their communities by gardening. The stories unfolded and describe how people from many different backyards, traditions and cultures can connect via gardening vegetables, fruits and herbs.
I was so impressed.
As I was sitting at my table I expressed to one of the volunteers of the Durham Food Policy Council, I would love to have a suburban backyard vegetable garden but I kill plants!! Elaine and Sandy laughed and stated they could help me and intervene and make sure my vegetables stay alive, happy and healthy!
I started laughing when Sandy told me all I need to do is talk to my vegetables daily and they will thrive!

This week we ate tomatoes, cucumber and anxiously waiting for peppers!

Delish!!
