Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦

I grow flowers and vegetables in Saskatchewan, Canada. My cold hardiness zone is zone 4. I have an average of 110 frost free growing days each year. The past few years have seen our temperatures go as low as -37C (-34.6F) to as high as 37C (98.6F). Come see what and how I grow in these conditions.

Happy Canada Day back, it’s been a wet weekend here.

We have had a combination of rain and much needed sunshine. Looking at another week of rain here.

Hi, ty. I was wondering if you know the best method for storing, planting, heeling etc. panicle hydrangea I recently purchased and are coming this summer. I have no idea, if its too warm to plant bare root. Much need your help if you can. ty

It’s always best to plant, any shrub or tree that arrives bare root, as soon as you can after it arrives. They should come with an information sheet. Often it is suggested to soak the roots for an hour or two to rehydrate the roots, then plant immediately. If the weather is very hot, sunny, and windy you should keep the soil damp but not soggy for a week or two after planting and then slowly back off the watering until they are just getting a deep watering every week or two. The amount and frequency of watering will depend on your soil and weather. Slow deep watering is better less frequently than dumping a bunch of water on the surface everyday. A layer of mulch will help keep the roots cool and damp.

@@PrairiePlantgirl thanks a bunch. I was worried they might fry or drown in our weird weather here. Gotta love zone 3 wannabe 4 😂 I've never planted bare root in the summer but I'll make sure to read instructions if I can understand them 😂

@kittypurr71 good luck! They will do better planted than waiting around.
