Layout of Kitchen Garden for 2017

We added parsnips (a great root crop) to this year's Kitchen Garden. Because it takes a long time to germinate, the parsnip bed (Bed 3 just beyond the asparagus and short stakes) looks quite "underwhelming".

Here's the 2017 Kitchen Garden.

Layout Of Produce Garden for 2017

Supervisor of Bed 7 of the Produce Garden

This year we made a major commitment to Russet Burbank potatoes, also onions. See 2017 Produce Garden for this year's list.

Garden Tour 2017

On July 15, Riel House will be one of the gardens highlighted in this year's Garden Tour sponsored by the Manitoba Master Gardener Association. Fantastic. We're very pleased to participate in this year's event and, frankly, it has encouraged us to talk about what a great horticultural opportunity we have at Riel House. Please click on the Garden Tour tab on the top left hand corner and then walk yourself about the property.

An Idyllic Day

Last Friday, the day was warm with no wind and no mosquitoes. An idyllic day. Each of us chose a separate task and worked away diligently and silently. At the end of the day, the grass in the Produce Garden was gone; there were new full-sized stakes defining each bed; last winters debris from the Entrance Area had been removed.

An idyllic day.
