V is for Vegetables
The weather has been kind of deceiving lately—hot, then cold, then warm, cold again. And windy! Yesterday, I thought the door on our shed was going to blow right off.
I’m used to the weather ups and downs, but my mom always has a hard time adjusting. The warm spell earlier this month gave her the “gardening itch.” Which means this weekend, I’m helping her plant some of her seeds—indoors, and mostly, her vegetables. (My sister is better at helping with the flowers.)
You can grow a lot of vegetable varieties in Alberta, but because of our short growing season, some vegetables do better than others, and a few, like corn, for example, are often better when they are started inside so that they’ll reach their full potential. (Even though corn grows better in southern Alberta, Mom tries it every year. It’s my dad’s favourite vegetable!)
We might start some tomatoes and peppers, as well. Mom doesn’t actually start planting in the soil outdoors until mid May—that’s when we can be almost certain the frost is gone for the year—but I love watching the seeds sprout. And of course, I love harvesting all of the vegetables in the fall.
Sometimes I wish we lived in a climate where we could grow vegetables ALL YEAR ROUND. Except…I’d probably miss snow at Christmas.
Gotta jet! But I'm back tomorrow with a great "W" word you won't want to miss!
