I grow flowers and vegetables in Saskatchewan, Canada. My cold hardiness zone is zone 3b. 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.

Thanks for the reminder. It's time to turn my compost pile too.
I do a three bin system myself. I try to rotate each bin forward about every 3-4 weeks. I'm sure your compost breaks down much better with the heat that you get. Job well done.

Three bin is a great way to compost!
I'm ahead of most 6a as I start seedings 8 weeks ahead of our mid May freeze date. I've a few Black Krim about belt high most of my 14 black Krim has 1 inck tomatoes and 3 inches largest. Definitely my best start with seedings for 4th season.Brleive I'll be eating something about the last week of. June Thornburg Terracotta usually 5 days behind.. I'm mulching my beds in early fall and May at seedlings planting days. Wear a mask molds and fungus are in the mulch Thanks Lady

Wearing a mask is likely a good idea 👍

In my latter years I have allergies with working mulçh and compost so partly me but as you agreed mask helps everyone thanks for helping me gardening I've improved also trying winter squash as you advocate for replacement for pumpkin in my cookies hopefully wife will cook with more garden veggies.
Howdy, Prairie Plantgirl and handsome Buster!👋 Thanks for the compost lesson.😃 I can't turn a pile anymore; however, I get some pretty nice compost I make in trash bins...no turning...about 4 or 5 months...just food scraps, cardboard, and brown leaves.🍂 I do enjoy your compost videos!👍💕

There’s nothing wrong with leaving the pile to slowly do its magic. It just takes a little longer here because of our cooler weather.

I bet if you really crafty you could make a spinning compost bin out of old skids and a round fence post thing

I had a homemade spinning compost bin. I didn’t like using it.
I started refilling the compost bin a couple weeks ago,but then the aspen seeds started falling like snow here and I was afraid to use my grass clippings in case the pile doesn’t get hot enough and I end up spreading little trees all over my garden beds.🫤🙇🏻♂️ but I really could use more compost 5his season
