Last night Tim and Sandra stopped by the Boulevarden. They live just down the avenue from us on 9th Street. Paul met Tim a few days earlier when Tim was walking by as he was watering the garden; they chatted for a bit about the Boulevarden. Yesterday Tim brought Sandra, his partner, by to see the garden. The four of us talked about the community concept of the garden, and they said they would like to bring over a plant for the garden. A short while later they brought over, and planted, a mint freshly dug up from their garden...I think it was a Black Peppermint...ug I am not sure - I should write these things down, a wonderful strong mint for sure. Tim has a lawn care business in town called Locke Lawn Care, and offered gardening services to the Boulevarden free of charge - they said if we needed anything, like anyone to water while we were away or anything else the Boulevarden might need, to just let them know...is that not soooo nice?
Sandra and Tim moved to Lethbridge from the Kootneys, Sandra lived in New Denver for a while, which is a wonderful village with a population of 500 or so. She mentioned a wonderful driving loop that we are going to drive next time we get out there...which I hope is soon, I am craving a Kootney fix.
We were able to give them 3 small yellow Zucchinis (they are so tender and wonderful when they are small) and some Basil (I say BAYsil, she says BAsil, it sounds much more wonderful the way she says it...). It was great meeting them and chatting for a bit, and they promised to stop by for a visit another day and sit for a while on the patio, which would be lovely.
UPDATE: the mint is indeed a Black Peppermint...confirmed from Sandra
