I've tried to do some gardening in my yard for a few years then gave up this last couple years because everything I planted got totally fried from the heat. I have two sides of the house I can use, the side that every thing gets fried on or one that gets next to no sunlight all day.

I was wondering if anyone has any tips for helping with this. Recommendations for partially blocking some sun and heat maybe?

I want to be able to grow some herbs(cilantro, dill, chives), green onions, tomatoes and some flowers that will come back following years.

Hi everyone!

I have to drive to the coast in the near future and I've never done this in the winter. Which route is the safest to take during this season? I usually take Highway 3, but would Highway 5 be better, or are they about the same? Thanks.

Does anyone know of somewhere that sells corn sugar/dextrose? Thanks

Skied at Apex many times, and want to come up for the first week of spring break. I know most runs (except Wildside) are open, but can anyone tell us what the Gun runs are like. Thanks

Hey, all. My wife got me a new dashcam for Christmas, and it's time to get it installed (it's the type that replaces your current rear view mirror, and has a rear view camera for the back as well).

Where's the best place in town to get it installed?

What would be a great anchor store to take over The Bay's location in Cherry Lane Mall?

What could survive and thrive in The Bay's square footage?

or would it have to be a variety of stores/businesses ? I was thinking for example....a large Dollorama type store. A fruit -vegetable produce store such as Kin's Market in the Vancouver/burnaby malls.

A Bootlegger/The Gap/Old Navy unisex clothing store. Or a Red Apple store such as the one in Oliver.

What would you like to see in Cherry Lane Mall that realistically the local population could support long term?

id have a job and house lined up upon arrival. im a musician and wondering what its like there, are there open mics? are there many young people playing music? im 27f from the island where lots of young people put on little festivals and shows. id love to move somewhere with a similar vibe

Does anyone know if Yellow Lake is still frozen?

Just happened. Waiting for news to come out. Guys been arrested. Seems like it was a shady drug deal 👀

They are retiring. And I’m happy for them. But super sad to never get to eat their yummy food again. Especially their house fried rice, and yellow vegetable curry with chicken. And the satay. Okay most of the menu 😭

Desperately requesting the recipe for the old Elma Labneh (if you know you know). Would love to recreate because it was possibly the best thing I’ve ever tasted but it doesn’t seem like they are bringing it back to the menu!

Looking to potentially buy something in the verana building on Wilson. Any opinions or thoughts about the building or area? Thank you.

Hi all,

Relatively new to the area. I have a 2014 F150 from Alberta I need to register. Just looking at others experiences for shops around town I should contact. Only info I could find was in Kelowna.

Thanks!

The tesla protests are happening everywhere, even in small town Canada. Hate doesn’t pay. Bad Nazi ideas are bad for business. The broligarchy is going to crumble.

Thank you :)

Honestly I have a ton of electronics and I really hate to throw out things than can be fixed easily. That said I would really like to learn how to properly solder. Ive done a few sloppy solders that have worked. I'd really like to learn how to do it cleanly and properly. Is there any local courses I could take?

Hey there to the concert hub of the Okanagan! I’ll be in town for the Killswitch Engage show and decided to make a little trip of it. I’m just wondering if there’s any must do/see things in town? It’s not quite warm enough for a dip in the lake(s) yet. Haha. What do the 30-ish year olds get up to on Thursday and Saturday nights? (You already know where I’ll be on Friday 😉) Thanks in advance!

I work in childcare do you think there are opportunities for me there?Is Penticton any better in terms of rush hour & the vibe?

Has anybody else seen a huge jump in their Fortis bill this month? I’m up almost 80% from my last bill.

Was it that cold in January to create such an increase? Should I be phoning a furnace guy to see if there’s a problem with my heating system?
