Lake Days 2011



Lake Cowichan 'Lake Days' is over for another year. The cool rainy weather didn't seem to dampen any ones spirits, and there was lots to do and see all day long.

Early morning set-up.

This is how we look 'on the road'.



Here are a few rainy day parade pics.



A relaxing week ahead, so I'll be in the garden!

Seedy Saturday 2011

 Qualicum Beach Seedy Saturday was wonderful. It opened at 10 o'clock, and I was circling the parking lot to find a space at 9:40.

The booths started outside the civic centre and continued into the foyer, down the halls and then they spilled out into the main room. Everything a gardener could wish to see, from recycling, composting and Mason bees, to greenhouses, plants, and fencing. The regular Farmers' Market was on the stage, offering soil blocks of greens, lots of food including jams and eggs and meats. And seeds, seeds, everywhere an opportunity to buy seeds!
There were speakers throughout the day talking about good bugs, good weeds, and saving seeds. And the crowds came!

I hope every booth (there were over 50) had a successful day. I certainly enjoyed your efforts.
