We can get into the high 20s C during the warmest days and have even got into the low 30s C here, our coolest during the summer are usually around 8-10 C although we've gotten down to 2 C before but that's usually at night and much appreciated at that time of the year. :D Its nicer to sleep in cooler temperatures during summer that's for sure. :D

Oh my goodness! You guys are just cold all the time! 😂☃ Are you able to grow gardens?
LOL. :D I'm basically cold 360 days out of the 365 each year, my husband gets cold for about 10 minutes once a year, LOL. :D
Yes we can grow a garden here, one year we had a big garden but turned that into our front pasture when we got the cattle. :D This past summer we made garden beds and grew tomatoes, cabbage, carrots, onions, peas, beans, and lettuce...I think I'm forgetting something but can't recall what, LOL. :D Why do you ask? :D
That's exciting! Well, I asked because in Wisconsin we had a hard time with tomatoes not ripening under 80° F and so I was super curious how temps effected gardening! 😀
We had a hard time with our broccoli this year, it didn't take off at all, barely any at all, I didn't mind though because I don't eat broccoli. :D Its nice to plant the smaller raised beds, I can't get down to work a regular garden but I could do a bit of work on the raised beds. :D My handsome husband does most of the gardening work though, he's the one with the greener thumb. :D
Tomatoes grow well here most of the time, but they do need to be started indoors a while before transplanting them into the garden beds though. :D
Our favorite vegetables are the carrots, peas, green peppers, and corn. We also love potatoes but since we live in an area with loads of huge potato farmers (one of which my handsome husband works the harvest for) we don't bother growing any of our own, although we did grow some when we first got the homestead up and running, but the potato beetles made it more trouble than it was worth for us to keep doing it. :D
God bless you and your wonderful family. :D Have an awesome day my fabulous friend! :D
Oh wow! How cool is it that you don't need to worry about potatoes! How long is your growing season?
We generally have snow until the end of March but we can have snow until the end of April or May, sometimes even in June. We usually plant in April, May or June depending on if we still have snow and if the ground has thawed out yet.
Most of the time we've got to start everything inside so it has time to grow big enough to be worth growing, but where we live we tend to get anywhere from 70-90 days of growth outside if we're lucky. :D
I'm betting your growing season is longer, I find most people in the USA tend to have more time to grow than we do up here. :D
Ohhhh yeah, I can see how your season is smaller, but it's so cool that you are still able. It's really inspiring!
