Kelsey - A Forager’s Home 🇨🇦

These days this is actually kind of a flex that you’ve never given money to JKR.

Same!

I completely missed out on Titanic, and also Sixth Sense, but have seen so many jokes and memes I feel like now I don’t need to.

A handful of colourful peppers and small tomatoes from the greenhouse.

If the #garden harvests have not been plentiful at least they’ve been consistent. Here’s my daily little handful from the struggling plants in the greenhouse. Each year I learn a little more about what works where. This year I really struggled keeping the greenhouse plants watered. #gardening

Pink plume celery! I need to know - who knows anything about saving seed from celery? Hit me up with your tips because I’d like to grow this one again without purchasing. #gardening #seedsaving #chinesecelery #garden

Can we share TikTok videos here? Anyone know? I’m not seeing an easy share button anywhere…

It is, isn’t it? A booth at one of our local Seedy Saturday events had a whole bunch of these handmade baskets and I had to take one home with me!

Little harvest basket. #gardening #potatoes #harvest

So perfect!

What a lovely problem to have!

2025 me is so grateful that 2022 me decided to start “mignonette” alpine strawberry seeds so that I can gather little handfuls of tiny red berries each day as a snack!

Thimbleberries beginning to ripen

Thimbleberries! These are plentiful in the general area but sadly not common at all near where I live! #foraging

Little pink and green sorrel seeds - they look sort of like little bits of confetti attached to the branch.

Sorrel seeds are so pretty! I added these as filler to a market bouquet I bought. 😍

Monotropa

Alpine blueberries.

Bunchberry flower.

Salal flowers.

Some little finds walking the trails around Squamish (but don’t worry - the only thing I “foraged” was one or two blueberries as a snack). #foraging

Ooo exciting!!

Nasturtiums are awesome!

Bindweed is the worst! Hope you are able to get that problem resolved soon!

Exciting! I hope it gets pollinated nicely and you get to enjoy your first cucumber soon!

Looks lovely!

TIL that lilac has purple heartwood. #gardening #lilac

Strawberries on their way!!!

Large bouquet in an amber glass pitcher. Peonies, allium, lupins, asparagus fern, and others!

I don’t have this much variety in my #garden (yet) but our farmers market flower vendors are 😍

Now the Ghorman Aria in the credits of episode seven though! I need the score for that so I can learn it!

Noooooo!
