It's Spring, Now What?
Well spring actually kicks off in 10 days (but who’s counting), spring is definitely in the air here in Didsbury. The snow is almost all gone, weather has been above 5 degrees for almost 2 weeks, the gophers are out scampering across the road, bears are coming out of hibernation in Banff National Park, and I have busted out my Birkenstocks. So I would say spring is here!
This year we have spent 25+ hours planning our gardens, and then scrapping the first round and re-planning it all over again. So now with our minds set of what we want to grow. We are on the big kick of we want to know what we eat and grow what we love. I have found a few pre planning websites if you need them www.almanac.com/vegetable-garden-planning-for-beginners, and of course the lady who knows everything (or so it seems) http://www.marthastewart.com/275017/planning-your-vegetable-garden. If you are a go big or go home kinda person (we won’t judge) here’s a great resource which is the one we are using this year. Be prepared to lose days or weeks to planning the massive amount you want to grow (you’ll thank us come fall and you’ve harvested the last of your 900 bed feet of squash, pumpkins and root veggies) http://cog-shop.myshopify.com/products/crop-planning-for-vegetable-growers.
So with your info in hand here’s our TOP 5 Seed Companies to get you GROWING. I’ll do a count down to leave you in suspense:
