Our rooftop garden plot is doing so well this year. We've not had success with carrots in the past 4 years; they've always been short, thin, and malformed.
However, @gwenfloyd just pulled these two tonight. Yowza! #urbangardening #vancouverlife

Renewed our auto insurance today. Apparently we put all of 1,820 km on our only motor vehicle. Each one of us put at least that on our bikes, with some of us doubling that.
After the kids move out (ha!) maybe car-free is in our future.

Bounty from urban gardens! The right half is from our rooftop community garden, including the biggest beet I've ever seen, some cukes, carrots, and beans. The left half is our CSA share this week from Sole Foods Urban Farms: shallots, leeks, potatoes, and more cukes. #urbanfarming #vancouver
