Urban Cultivator and Growing Fresh Parsley


With Spring only days away we thought we would give you an early taste of Spring.

Did you happen to notice that the Parsley leaves are similar to the Shamrock..

Here is what our friends at Urban Cultivator have to say about growing Parsley. and don't forget to watch the short video at the end.

Parsley is widely used around the globe to season meats, soups, stews and potato dishes. Parsley can be used as a garnish or as a palette cleanser because of its natural fresh flavor.

Step by Step Use of the Urban Cultivator- Intro

When Mr. Barber told us about the Urban Cultivator and asked whether we thought Barber and Haskill should carry it, I was in favour from the first moment.

But I am a happy gardener;  I love my
garden and back yard and would spend all my time there except for bills that need to be paid.

This device is an indoor garden complete with lights and irrigation.  It is the size of a dishwasher that you can install in your kitchen or have as a portable unit.

This item was featured on the CBC television show Dragons Den a few years ago. these “hippies” as some reviewers called them got their deal and now The Urban Cultivator is available at select retailers across Canada.    I  was an avid Dragons Den follower for years but had missed the original pitch; it is on youtube, and it is worth watching in my opinion.    Is there anyone like Kevin ?????

Who would use the Urban Cultivator?

      
  • Are you tired of those messy indoor greenhouses or hydroponic systems?
  • Have you ever lost your prized herbs or greens because you forgot to feed or water them?
  • Would you like to be in full control of the quality of your greens?
  • Are you concerned about the pesticides that are used to produce most greens and veggies found in the local supermarket?


If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might be very interested in the Urban Cultivator.

Winter Herbs


As Hearty Canadians, we know what it means when we hear  "winter is coming".
We know that Thanksgiving has arrived, hockey season has begun;  snow blowers and shovels replace the lawn furniture and garden gnomes.  We winterize our gardens, say goodbye to the butterflies and brace ourselves for the impending arrival of S-N-O-W.

This winter why not keep a little bit of summer alive, by bringing your garden indoors with an Urban Cultivator herb garden.

Herbs are easily grown and are more than a wonderful addition to your kitchen decor; they bring culinary flavor to every meal, and provide endless necessary medicinal uses.
