Hosting a Harvest Dinner had always been on my buc

Hosting a Harvest Dinner had always been on my bucket list. I had a vision of inviting over my friends/fam to eat amazing food prepared by a local chef using only ingredients from our garden. And last year at this time that’s exactly what I did 🍂🍴It was the best.

New on the blog you’ll find several posts that I hope will inspire you to do the same! I’ve written all about how I specifically planned out our garden to host an event like this, our menu and a DIY tutorial on building our hanging floral centrepiece!

Find it all on fromsoiltosoul.ca or at the link in my bio. And if you’ve hosted your own Harvest Dinner I would loveee to hear about it!! Menu, drinks, decor..share the details plz 🫶🏻

These homegrown Pinto Dry Beans win for my fav sur

These homegrown Pinto Dry Beans win for my fav surprise crop this season 🫘 Here’s why…

We eat a lot of beans in our house 🤭 and I love the idea of growing our Winter supply.

They were wildly easy to grow and this variety, Quincy from @highmowingorganicseeds is highly disease resistant so no worry about them contracting any viruses, which can be pretty common with drying beans.

I literally threw down a handful of these seeds at the beginning of June and more or less forgot about them until a few weeks ago when I found the pods amongst the weeds. So fair to see they’re a beginner friendly crop…and resilient!

Though they require a long growing season (110+ days to maturity) they’re a compact, bushy plant so won’t take up a ton of room in your garden.

I feel like I could come up with a handful of other reasons why I’m the new lover of Pinto Dry Beans but I’ll stop there 🫠 Consider this my PSA to add storage beans for drying, canning, preserving, etc..to your list for next season!

🌳NEW on the blog - Fall Planting Trees For Zone 3, linked in bio.

You’ll find two easy reading new blogs over at fromsoiltosoul.ca that cover our personal suggested timeframe we’ve found is best for Fall tree planting (*hint* wait a few more weeks!) as well as some of the trees for Zone 3 with the fastest growth rate.

This master list includes all the trees that thrive in Zone 3, not necessarily everything you can grow. Because there’s tons of amazing more exotic trees you can grow even in Northern climates. These are just the ones you can count on to thrive! And who doesn’t want that?
