My daughter and I are visiting Quebec City, Canada on vacation. It's been two days so far, sightseeing in the beautiful old town Vieux-Quebec. But as luck would have it, the next 5 days will be raining with thunderstorms! Right now there is a “severe thunderstorm” per Weather.com happening and we are comfortably in our Airbnb. What better time for me to write a garden blog (or three)? Haha!
Since a storm was approaching, this morning as my daughter was still sleeping, I went searching for an “epicerie avec legumes”. Please pardon my Google-translated French, it is supposed to mean a food market with fresh vegetables. Before locating the market, I wandered a little off the beaten track into an urban complex setting. It felt safe as Canadians are generally very nice and helpful. A welcome surprise was finding an apartment complex frontage that has edible landscaping. Here are some pics:
The apartment's edible landscape, which includes flowering plants and trees.
Grapes
Blackchokeberry
Lamb's quarters, and Vietnamese coriander “rau ram”
Chili pepper
Aubergineaka eggplant
Tomato and kale
Raspberry

Au revoir et a bientot!
