Hello,
Planning Your Veggie Garden
It seems no matter where you live mother nature has been wreaking some havoc with what would be seasonal temperatures or weather patterns. Here on the Canadian west coast we are having more sunny cool days than I remember in the last few years.
The sunny weather has got me out walking in my new neighborhood. I am in transition for the next few months so decided to see what the downtown core of Vancouver has been doing for community gardening. I have been getting inspired.
