Snow in April?
Wow, gardening seasons is just getting started, local nurseries are building their stock and we look outside to see …. snow? The clematis was just starting up the trellis! Guess we’ll wait a few more days for the temperatures to warm up and spring to show up again. What are you looking forward to this gardening season?

I’ve just moved from the city to a beautiful property on the Trent River. The climate is different than what I’m used to, so I have to educate myself on what grows best here. Also, my budget is small, so I need to be careful not to get caught up in my usual Spring frenzy of buying every beautiful flower I see. One of my biggest challenges will be the size of my property, which is a vastly different than my small city Lot. I love gardening and I want to be surrounded by gardens, but I want the property to look natural, so I’m trying to abandon my “city garden” mindset and draw from all the nature around me. I think the trick is many small manageable gardens. My challenge - keeping them small. What am I looking forward to this gardening season? Everything!!
