    Hey Robin. How did the garden do in 2012?

    Hi Robin. In both Ontario and Quebec, where I've lived, it's always been the May Two-Four weekend (Victoria Day), as we call it, to plant the annuals into the garden. A friend of mine lives nearer to you, though, in Victoria BC, and is able to plant earlier than me. Just when we think there won't be any more frost to kill the tomatoes, you never know...Earlier this week, there was snow around here! My tomatoes are getting a little tall for their little pots. I'll have to figure out what to repot them into until May 2-4.

    Nice digs, and I really love to see pictures. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi All,

    Haven't been online for such a long time. Just too much to do. I'm still harvesting sun chokes, chard and kale and carrots from the garden. Too cool. I'll try to take more pics of the winter garden soon. Happy Gardening and think Spring.

    Also, we continue to have rain almost daily. Can't wait until after July 4th when things start to barely warm up around here. The cherry tomatoes look healthy but cold :-(

    Actually, it's the opposite, can I plant Brassica's where the eggplants and tomatoes were?

    O.K., thinking about planting the winter garden (and it's only the end of June, hard to wrap my head around it). Also it will be a tight squeeze as I don't hav so much room. Can I plant Eggplants where the Brassicas were?

    Thanks for stopping by. Yes, we have quite a big garden. We freeze, can, and dry vegetables for the winter.

    Your cabbage looks very nice. We haven't had much success with them. Too many bugs! And perhaps a bit hot too.

    Here's a vote for your very nice setup.

    Yes, we will plant for the fall. We have already replanted green beans, tomatos,squash and cucumbers. We will be adding lettuce, cabbage and brocolli around the end of Sept. Once all of this is done, we will put the hoop frame up and grow greens over the winter. Always something to do in our garden! Have a great gardening day!
