I am located in Ontario, so I’m only just starting to think about the upcoming growing season and getting some seeds started. Right now it’s still very snowy here. I decided this year I will grow way more of fewer things. Last year I tried too many things and many things failed. I know what is easy for me to grow (and preserve) so going to keep it simple this year! Tomatoes (cherry, heirloom coloured varieties) green beans, culinary herbs, butternut squash, lettuces, a few melons, pumpkins. I’ll rely on my perennial collection to fill in: asparagus, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and I have an orchard that is too young to fruit yet but getting there 🤞🏻 I am building a collection of perennial medicinal herbs as well. From seed, so it takes some time but hopefully will have an amazing tool chest in future. Then I have hens and beef cattle. Thinking of getting a Jersey for milk; waiting till things “out there” get really bad for that because it’s a huge commitment so means we’re largely not going anywhere.

Do you grow a garden?
