These small, tightly-closed green buds nestled amongst the glossy leaves of the pepper plant are a welcome sight and a critical milestone. This is indeed the flowering stage, a clear sign that the plant is healthy, mature, and ready to begin the process of fruiting. Each of these nascent buds holds the promise of a future pepper. With continued sunlight and care, they will soon open into small, delicate flowers, which, once pollinated, will transform into the crisp, sweet green peppers destined for the table.

In Music

Jukebox In Exile is the new country music album from Flin Flon singer-songwriter C.C. Trubiak, blending classic country, honky-tonk, Americana and traditional storytelling into a collection of songs inspired by resilience, community and life in Northern Manitoba. Written during and after the 2025 Flin Flon wildfire evacuation, the album draws influence from country music legends including Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Waylon Jennings and George Jones. Featuring the singles "Old Country Songs," "Being Rich" and the charting track "Outlaws Meditation," Jukebox In Exile showcases Trubiak's signature songwriting while celebrating small-town life, northern Canadian culture, queer country music and the enduring spirit of Flin Flon. The album is available now on major music streaming platforms.
Manitoba's own C.C. Trubiak's new album "Jukebox in Exile" dropped on June 5! Check it out!
