It is pretty exciting to finally arrive in Sointula (Finnish meaning peace and harmony), Malcolm Island, Brtitish Columbia. Home of my next garden.
It's going to be a while before I get started. In a few weeks we head back to Ontario for the summer. But there is no reason why I can't dream right?
Here is the view from the front window. We are right on the sea with all those fresh breezes. I think I am going to need a small green house to help keep the tomatoes warm.
Above is a nice sunny spot where I'll be starting it all. There are many deer around, so one of the first jobs will be to erect some tall fences.
We have spent quite a few days exploring the village on our bicycles.
I have discovered the community gardens. Lots going on there. Actually lots of gardening on the island. Lots of inspiration!

There will be a few new tricks to learn. The deer for one, and the cool summers and fresh ocean breezes. The bonus's are the really long summer days and the mild winters with almost no snow and hardly any frosts.
Now I am at the planning stage. Armed with tape measures and graph paper.Lots of dreaming going on.
