What better thing to do when winter is asserting itself, is watch gardening videos?
Gardening in Canada has put out another excellent video for us short-season gardeners. Here, she talks about the seeds we should start now, or can get away with starting now if we do it right, and which she would advise against starting until April.
I believe she lives a bit further North that we do, but her last frost date is earlier than mine, so she can actually start seeds about a week two earlier than me.
I appreciate that she says that no one knows your garden in your area better than you, and to take that into account when deciding what to start. Everyone has their different soil conditions, microclimates and other factors that will affect how things grow – and what will grow at all! I also like that she recommends new gardeners take advantage of the wealth of knowledge among people in the comments section. You’re bound to find someone living in your part of the world that can answer them far better than she can, living where she does.
I suspect I’m going to be sharing her videos here regularly over the next while!

How exciting! I actually did not wait for March and started planting some seeds, placing it on my south-facing kitchen window. The nine-star perineal broccoli and basil have sprouted 😁 I need to plant the others I’ve collected! Now or never (or next year lol)

Oh, yes! For our area, some things – like onions – should be started in January or February!
I’m going to have to look up that variety of broccoli. Sounds interesting!

I have different seeds for onions.. might be a little too late to bury them now lol!
It’s beautiful from what I saw online. Hardy, too. It’s got a main head, then up to about 15 small separate heads from the main head! I hope it’d look that way, anyway haha we shall soon see. I just buried the seeds in the soil and hoped for the best 😁

I meant perennial, btw. I am a victim of autocorrect 😑
