"Snow
lingers in secluded corners and frost is still in the ground, but spring
is awaiting a welcome." Samuel Thomas Wood (Rambles
of a Canadian Naturalist, 1916)
It is said that Spring comes earliest to gardeners, and Nova Scotia's
'bluenose green thumbs' are no exception. This time of year, they join
thousands across North America as they flip through garden catalogues,
sketch plot plans and start seeds in their sunniest southern windows.
Nova Scotian gardeners are blessed with a moderate coastal climate which
places them in Plant Hardiness Zones 5a, 5b and in Halifax and the South Shore, a
balmy Zone 6a.
This year we've included some new 2011 personal favourite East Coast
gardening links. Many of these new links below (with a bright green
background) represent firms or farms we've dealt with personally and
they come highly recommended!
You'll find seeds - including ornamental grasses and trees, organic
veggies, bulbs and garden supplies -- and a few surprises like how to
attract insect-eating birds, make a compost bin, where to buy red wigglers
and much more. Top free catalogues for our north-eastern gardens.
