Looks like a lovely garden you have! I miss living in a warmer climate, where things like fruit trees would grow much more easily. One day I'll get back to the coast... for now I'll settle for berry bushes! haha My raspberries are just blooming and starting to grow some fruit now, we probably won't see any harvested for another month or so. The joys of living in the "Great White North."
I went and checked out your "Homage to the Mothers" post, and it's very beautiful. I love the idea of planting something with the intention to honour and remember. I'd like to do something similar, but I'm waiting until our backyard renovating is done so I can pick a premium spot. 💝
The Great White North..? Montana ? Canada..?
that would be very different indeed. here our biggest challenge is our long dry hot summer.
thank you for your comment and visit 🙏
Oh, I see you are in Alberta.
Yes, Alberta - lots of farmland around me, but a very extreme climate... 30C in the summer, and -40C in the winter. Only very hardy plants will thrive here. We've been here a little less than 2 years, and before that, we were in Victoria for a decade - the warmest place in Canada, very temperate... we miss it very much!
Auch. and I thought our climate was extreme. that would be challenging in various aspects.
I can see why you miss Victoria. (That is BC, right ?).
Yes, it is in BC. At the very southern tip of Vancouver Island, off the west coast. The rest of the island is quite rainy much of the year but Victoria is in the "sunshine pocket" because of the way the weather moves around the mountains. It's quite a lovely place to be, if you can afford to live there. 😅
yeh. a friend was working with the Orcas around there. not sure now if he actually lived in Victoria, but it does ring a bell.
