Caramel & Parsley Takes a Sabbatical

July 24, 2019 by Liz Gardner

Caramel and Parsley is taking a sabbatical.  Its been over a decade since starting the website and it has given me much joy and taught me more than I ever imagined! I have not set a time limit, simply a time to reorganize and review my options. Here is a very small part of Caramel & Parsley over the years:

A special quote I use often:

LIFE …
isn’t about waiting
for the storm to pass.
It’s about learning
to dance in the rain

Fires in B.C & Elsewhere – Climate Change

Over the years the focus has changed and like many other countries, such as Australia and areas like California,  wildfires are now, unfortunately, “the norm” in BC and Canada:

  • Forest Fires a Growing Concern (2015)
  • Ongoing BC Wildfires (Summer 2017)
  • Australia & Climate – (2018 – 2019)

Climate Change is no longer some far-off problem;
It is happening here,
It is happening now
~ Barack Obama, President of the United States

The Veggie Patch – Gardening

I consider myself a hobby gardener and this is one of my all-time favourite pastimes – it’s just part of my life really. I have had both failures and successes and it is constantly changing and sometimes a challenge mostly due to moles, rabbits and raccoons! Here are a few of my favourite articles over the years:

  • How to Grow Your Own Strawberries (2013) – An all-time popular post
  • 15 Reasons to Grow Your Own Tomatoes (2016) – Always a bountiful crop
  • Many Reasons to Start A Veggie Garden (2019)

In almost every garden,
The land is made better
and so is the gardener
