Foraging Adventures 2012
Over the past couple months I've been trying to quietly trying to see how many people were interested in spending a day tramping around the bush learning about edible plants, local wildlife, etc.
I gathered some names, sent out a facebook message. Then, I sent out a tweet to see if anyone else out there would be interested...
Well, there's enough people to move ahead with phase2!

New Books!
To me anyways :)
Mushrooms of Western Canada, which I need for my mycology course at the end of this month....
AND
Edible and Medicinal Plants of Canada. Yay foraging!
Both are from Lone Pine Publishing, a great company that has a wide range of everything Canadian.
So, in addition to my cheesemaking adventure this summer, I would also like to get out in the bush more and do some plant id and foraging. I'll just strap my kid to my back (or leave her with Grannie for a bit) and explore the wonders of the always beautiful Aspen Parkland and Boreal Forest... :)

Thoughts of Spring Run Through My Head...
Let's start with a link from Canadian Living website on...
Wild Edibles in Canada
If you're a mushroom fan, like my family :), then you better sign up with the Devonian Gardens just south of Edmonton for one (or BOTH!) of their mushroom courses.
Mike Schulz is hosting a Spring Mushrooms May 28th, and a Summer Mushrooms June 25th. Both are already starting to fill up!
We moved to a new townhouse this fall, with our baby girl Londyn. This one has enough green space that I can have a garden! yay!!
I've already started planning what I want to grow (peppers, tomatoes, herbs, strawberries, onions, garlic, beans, radishes, turnips, lettuce, potatoes, corn, squash, pumpkin, beets... ) and how to build my planters.
Not everything will go in ground planters, some I'm planning for pots. My herbs I want to do in pots on a stand that I can move inside during winter so I can have them all year round. I even have a spot picked out in the living room for it :)
If you've read any previous posts you know that we're using cloth diapers. It's so easy I don't know why more people don't use them. As long as you have a washer and dryer at your disposal (we do a small load a day) then you save SO much $$$$$!
I decided to use Mother-Ease diapers. It's a Canadian company that is owned and manufactured out of Ontario. The styles and colours are great and I haven't had any problems with them leaking. Londyn is now just over 4months old.
Nelson and Maria at Rose Ridge Land and Cattle have invited us out for coffee and a tour of the farm this spring, right when all the calves are running around and Londyn will be old enough to be excited about it. She already loves to "pet" our kitten, Miss Harley Quinn. By the time we're out at the farm she'll be 7 or 8 months old and ready to explore, in her own special way from Daddy's arms lol
And that's all for now, as I watch more snow fall upon Edmonton, adding to the pile we got last week. I hope that means lots of moisture for the fields this spring... :)
