Starting today prices for dairy and related products will increase by almost 10%. The Canadian Dairy Commission voted to increase the cost of dairy by 8.4% in November 2021. The rise in price is to offset “input costs” of milk. #foodprices

MIgardner has some useful tips for preparing your garden beds for next years growing. Compost on its own is not enough and this time of the year it’s also important to inoculate, remineralize and add to your growing soil for ideal soil next year.

Seed packs for 25 families are ready to go! The seeds were generously donated to Secure Your Food by the Interfaith Food Bank shortly before the pandemic! It’s now time to directly sow seeds for gardens! Happy Gardening!

Unfortunately, the tremendous reduction in food insecurity has not been sustained. And with the province opting out of monitoring from 2013-2016, it is not possible to examine why or the impact of subsequent policy changes. (6/7) https://t.co/eA58NZnCkx

The last day for frost is May 21 for our area. In advance of this you can plant seeds from cold tolerant plants. A nice resource to help you with your gardening resource and how to plan best for different types of vegetables.

"We've seen other provinces and the federal government, you know, talk about food insecurity and different documents. But we've never seen anybody come forward with a commitment like P.E.I. to say we want to end this." #FoodInsecurity #PEIpoli https://t.co/ADrLUQT1aj

Growing in 5 gallon containers with a self water feature is considered a climate change adaptation. It is mobile, accessible, and productive. If weather becomes too extreme you can relocate inside. Detailed building instructions are coming soon.

#DidYouKnow? Severe food insecurity is very sensitive to income. Policies that improve the financial circumstances of low-income households are critical to addressing the high risk of #foodinsecurity and associated negative health impacts. Learn more: https://t.co/LiIHHhd2ti

We’re also guilty of using plastic one use planting pots and this year we are going to try an alternative, paper pots. These are inexpensive and biodegradable. Also, maybe free!

According to the seedling planting chart for our area, we start tomato, peppers, leeks, and onions inside. This allows us to plant seedling that are ready to go when planting in the spring. Check out the video on how to start! #gardening #seedlings
