Looking for Pickling Dill

Do any of you fine gardeners have extra flowering dill for pickling?
Mine doesn’t want to grow this year. 

Just need one bunch, for now. Maybe more later if you’ve got it.
Can trade (flowers / purple/Thai basil), or pay ya!

Cancelled – “Lion’s Gate Sound Journey”

This event scheduled for August 10th is cancelled. An unexpected medical situation has caused Dawn to cancel this event that was scheduled for 6:30-8:30 on August 10th at the hall.

Perhaps by late fall I will be able to play again.

Enjoy the rest of summer,

Dawn

Nature House: What’s On Tomorrow

Coming up this Saturday, August 9:

10:00 AM - 2:00 PM Taste the Garden at Family Fun Day (all ages)

Location: Forbes Hall (outside)

Today we’ll be joining the Family Fun Day festivities! Drop by our table in front of Forbes Hall to discover the flavours, aromas, and hidden powers of nature in this hands-on activity. Decorate cookies with edible flowers and herbs from our medicinal garden - the People’s Apothecary Garden (PAG), then put your taste buds to the test with a blind tasting of herbal teas made from plants like lavender, chocolate mint, lemon balm, fennel, and rosemary. Can you guess which is which? Learn how these plants support health and well-being while having fun with the whole family!

1:00 - 3:00 PM Drop in at the Sea Life Centre (all ages)

Location: Telegraph Harbour Marina

You are invited to observe the otherworldly pile-worm burrowing in our non-touch tank. This clam seeking predator has powerful fangs made of zinc and four eyes, and was found in the intertidal at the marina. We will be doing a short feeding session to see its reversible jaws and learn about the distinct lifestyle of our earthworm related inmate. Finally, you can observe the distinctive undulating movement of the clam worm when walking, swimming, and burrowing.

Fire Danger Class & Weather Report

Weather Forecast

SYNOPSIS: 

After an unsettled Wednesday with rain and some thunderstorm activity, warm and dry conditions return. A low-pressure system continues to move east, and an incoming ridge of high pressure will shift a northerly flow to westerly through Thursday, giving most of the Coastal Fire Centre moderate WSW winds. Clearing will continue and mostly sunny conditions will return. Temperatures will be seasonal and will climb by 1-3 degrees each day into and through the weekend. This is a gradual build as this ridge is a slow-moving system. Expect clouds through the south into Friday morning and clearing by noon with a return to a SW flow over CoFC.

OUTLOOK: 

Saturday to Monday: Very constant conditions for the weekend and start of next week. The ridge will continue to drive temperatures up and drying conditions remain. Temperatures peak Sunday through Tuesday with many areas above seasonal. A trough of low pressure in the northern portion of the province could create some elevated winds in the Tweedsmuir Park region on Sunday, gusting 30-40 km/h. To the south, gusting is expected through the valleys at 30-35 km/h.
