Gardener GardeningImage via Wikipedia I am extremely proud to be Canadian and would like to enjoy Canada for another 50 years as my first 50 some years here have been quite satisfying.

My wife and I have just recently become Canadian gardeners and are loving it so far. Things haven’t grown quite as fast as we had hoped but it’s all a new learning experience for us so we aren’t worried that much.

As Canadian gardeners we love to share what we learn with our readers and friends as well as learn from them, so don’t be shy to leave a comment when you read something that helps you or you think of something that will help us grow as gardeners.

I was raised in Ontario for the first half of my life and as a kid we had a huge garden that supplied us with goodies through out the entire year. Now that I am living in New Brunswick with a family of my own I want to learn to be a Canadian gardener just like back on the farm.

Canadian gardening has quickly become one of my favorite hobbies. I love hobbies that taste good. I guess that is why I am so nuts about fly fishing in New Brunswick as well.

I have a lot to learn about gardening in Canada but I am willing to learn and each year we learn more and do a better job.

Unfortunately this year didn’t turn out so great as far as gardening goes. We have had nothing but rain, which destroyed most of what we started in our garden before it had a chance to become strong enough to survive.

Next year we will start our plants inside and put them out each day for a bit to climatize them and strengthen they stems and roots.

Canadian Gardening Tip

I guess what we have learned this year is to plant earlier and to have better drainage. The amount of rain we have had this year showed us pretty quick what happens to flowers and vegetable gardens when the water just keeps getting deeper. Maybe we should have planted rice this year.

In the plans, already, for next year are raised beds.
