It really is! It does feel "me" haha

aww thank you, I am not skilled enough for makeup lol

@@kristina_lynn never mind I think people do not need makeup to be beautiful

Totally! I like to keep things tidy so I want to keep it well organized

Thanks so much! 😊

The previous owner was actually a biologist as well so I think she really planted a broad variety of plants!

Don't worry, I have about 7 billion of them still heh

They are also edible, and many other uses like de-compacting the ground.....

It really is!

Us too!

Thank you!! 😊

love ya too girl!

Thank you!! 😊

I'm so glad they're helpful :)

Thank you!!

Thank you! 🤗

Thank you so much! I really like a lot of the border planting the previous owner did (though the giant Leyland Cypress can be a bit difficult to keep in line)

thank you :) :)

Thank you!

Yes! Thank you!

Haha thank you! I have heard that I resemble her a lot! I do take it as a compliment

A little blurry but there will be more bees :)

this year i'm going to not pull them and try them in salads :)

We? Nevermind you'll be fine. Doing it alone is rough.

Yes luckily there's two of us! it will still be a challenge though lol

Thanks so much :) :)

Yeah I’m reading a bit more about suet but I think I’m going to give it a try, I liked that it had the holders :)

welcome!

Yeah I’m monitoring for them! I don’t want mice getting in my house or anything haha so we’ll see how it goes. I could always move it or get a new one

awesome, that's what I thought!

@@kristina_lynn Lupines come in many different colours, is very prolific and spreads fairly nicely to fill in areas. It is also very easy to collect seed from them for future plantings...

@@ediblelandscaping1504 Im all over it! I collected seeds this fall and im going to seed them for the future food forest

That's a great question, if you have lots of weeds that flower (like my lawn which is like half weeds) the pollinators really like the flowers. I have a ton of other flowering areas of my yard though for them, and my neighbours probably wouldn't appreciate if I don't mow my front yard haha. I am not a big fan of grass though (it's just not the most productive and ecologically beneficial use of land) and I want to slowly start turning it to pollinator gardens, maybe some wildflower meadow, and veggie garden

@@kristina_lynn Clover is a great pollinator species, parts are edible and it is a nitrogen fixer so actually it's terrific if you have it. Many other beneficial species in many yards as well....

@@ediblelandscaping1504 I agree, I am working on replacing my Bermuda grass with clover (eventually). It will be a bit of a battle against the Bermuda, but I just love clover for pathways

I don't feel that anymore because I have a stable job I like, and im in a good location for jobs. but I did feel like that at the beginning of my career when it was more competitive

I live in Victoria BC :)

It's absurdly expensive. I sadly don't have any cheap land tips as I have the worlds biggest mortgage lol. Our place (Victoria) has already gone up at least 150k since we bought which is honestly horrifying. I worked at fly in fly out sites in Alberta for 6 years away from home for months doing overtime, combined with my partner who has a good engineering job, equity from a condo in Calgary, eating beans and rice for years, and still had to borrow some money from his parents to land this place and we barely snagged it. We lost 5 bids and about a year full of tears and frustration searching. We took a lot of risks buying the place that I normally wouldn't be comfortable with as a normally frugal person, but I think it worked out for us. Im not too familiar with the up island market but I would look at small towns on the mainland too honestly, it seems like this price jump is impacting everyone.

Lol yes

Zone 9a, Vancouver Island

actually my boss who I'm giving it to says she's either going to use it as a chicken coop or a kids play house (she hasn't decided haha). I don't want chickens in this stage of my life because im just going to be away in the field for too often to take good care of them
