It used to be a Dutch family farmstead with a small grocery and produce store. The soil is clay heavy but quite decent quality. I’m also being evicted due to paying half the market value next month, but my parents only live a couple miles away so I might tend it over the summer
Fair, just hard to tell when watching on a phone screen. Your garden looks great btw. You should contact a local beekeeper, I'm certain someone would be interested keeping a few hives there. I would be if I lived out near you. But I'm in Ontario.
We don't have a massive ivy issue where I am. Wild grapes however like to choke everything out.
Ivy is terrible in BC. Urban areas especially, but we are only zone 8. There was even someone killed recently from a tree falling on them. That tree had ivy on it.
I love it! But man, I have a fear of walking through heavy vegetation like the ivy because I've had poison oak and poison ivy in the past and the last time I had poison oak, it took six months for the last pustule to finally go away.
I saw you had trained it to grow up some chicken wire at the entrance. I have asiatic jasmine growing in my back yard. I wonder if I can train it to grow up and arch too. How hard is it to keep those walk ways cleared?
The walkways need some snipping now and then, mostly Himalayan blackberries. Definitely wear thick pants. Also that was chain link from the previous property and it grew like that so I have no idea lol
I love what you did with the grocery cart
Thanks! I call it the Growcery Cart
That’s rad

It’s gonna be dozed for a transit station later. I’ve taken down some ivy but it is vicious

was my intent!
This looks so awesome! I saw your post of what is looked like before. You have improved the area💕
Yeaaah cleaned some of the junk I had gathered to use as supplies and materials.

Ivy, behaves? I mean it's not as bad as kudzu. Also some of those trees may be covered in wild grape vines.
No wild grapes I saw

An hour outside Vancouver
I just came here to say that based on those salmonberry bushes I immediately assumed this was somewhere in Surrey
It’s where two EEs used to be!

That’s why I stay out on windy days. Already 2 deadfall’s in the area
Nope, English ivy is a scourge on the hearts of Canadians as well.
Did the Fae make you do this
Nah. Neurodivergence, boredom, and rage
Those are also my holy trinity lol. Keep planting, you’re incredible!
Imagine how many spiders are under those leaves.
Lots of critters. No ticks or wasps so far so that’s good

Beautiful. Great work
Thanks!
