I lived the past 20 years in the garden of Canada, a.k.a. British Columbia. So I’m finding it a little ironic that it’s here in Montreal where I’m really starting to appreciate the joy of growing things…particularly things that one can eat! It seems that this summer has been full of living edibles, from the herb pots and tiny tomatoes on my sunny balcony, to the many community gardens I’ve stumbled upon, to the open-air markets…and everywhere, grapes that people have clambering over their trellises and arbours.
