My Dark Cove Pantry

I am from Gambo, NL, located on the east coast of Canada, in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean. My hometown of Gambo was once divided into three smaller communities, known as Middle Brook, Dark Cove & Gambo. I grew up in Dark Cove, and absolutely love to cook and bake, so I thought what better name could there be for my first blog than 'My Dark Cove Pantry'. Even though I now live in Flatrock, and now have a new pantry, it will always be 'My Dark Cove Pantry'.

June Colors in Flatrock

I just returned from a week of training, for my work, in Halifax. I was really taken by how lush all of the plants and shrubs appeared. When I went for a little stroll in my own garden this morning, I was surprised to see the progress of my plants in just five days. Take a peek......

After lunch, I went to the nursery. I am really excited about planting my kitchen garden. There is

a perfect spot right off the back deck that appears to have been used by the previous owner for

annuals. I bought, chocolate-peppermint, spearmint, dill and chives. We also have three different

varieties of tomatoes, and two different types of cucumbers for the greenhouse.

I am already looking forward to making green and red tomato salsa and different types of pickles.

Cheers from Flatrock
