May 13 was a busy day for planting the garden at St. Peter’s Abbey. Here Br. Basil is watching Neil and Paul planting potatoes. And then Neil planted the first of the corn, which we hope will ripen before the frost comes.
Tomato Plants
Br. Kurt checks out the tomato plants he has started, which will be ready to transplant shortly. The monks enjoy the flavour of home grown tomatoes in the abbey greenhouse.
Retreat at the Abbey
A group of displaced families from the Ukraine, now living in Saskatoon, spent a pleasant weekend at the Abbey April 21-23.
April Snow
A “Colorado Low” blew into Saskatchewan April 17 and made some highways impassible and travel restricted. The Abbey Courtyard shows how much snow fell and the wind blew up some snow banks alongside the Abbey building.
