June Yard and Garden Tour
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this tour I will give you an update on my cherry trees, my petunias grown form seed, my potatoes planted in April, and my carpet thyme that I moved from my front yard to my backyard. I will also show you flower containers that I planted, how my vegetable garden is growing, and where I planted all those flowers I started from seed.
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.

Here in Ontario, we're having unseasonably hot weather, with thunder storms in the afternoons. My cherry tomato plants are over 6 feet tall, the the stems are 1 inch thick and the the fruit will be turning red any day now. The zucchini leaves are huge and for the first time, have no powdery mildew. I pruned out 50% of them twice, to increase air circulation.. Yesterday, I pruned my English cucumber vines. I am starting to harvest kale. I harvested rhubarb three times already. I froze half of it to use later. Blueberries, red currant and raspberries are starting to ripen. Half of my dahlias have been eaten to the ground by slugs.

I have been hearing about the heat wave out your way. It sounds like your garden is enjoying the heat!
Thanks for the update! You are zone 4 and I am zone 6. It’s very interesting to compare what is thriving vs. what is struggling.

Howdy, Prairie Plantgirl and cute Buster!👋 I hate hearing y'all are still getting cold weather. I do hope summer weather hits soon! You have so much good going on! Wow! Your creeping thyme is flowering! Pretty!😃 Nice looking peppers! I'm so thankful our regular summer weather hasn't hit yet. Today I put broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage seeds in paper towels to sprout. It's time to start our fall crops. 💕

That creeping thyme is so pretty when it blooms! I hope we get some consistent heat soon. It’s great to hear things are going well in your garden.
Our tomato plants are doing very poorly. We had frost on June 18. I’ve never seen that in 24 years living here in southern AB. Spinach bolted,carrots barely starting to grow and pea plants are 12inches high.🤦♂️ and I can’t water anything because a huge water pipe broke in Calgary.😂 I thinks it’s likely that the garden will be a bit of a bust this year. Your garden is looking very good! 👍

We have been flirting with frost this month but have been lucky so far. That water line break is a huge issue. Hopefully they can get the new pieces in there and get that water flowing without any more big issues. What a reminder to appreciate all that hidden infrastructure that keeps our cities functioning!
Wow ! Frost in June… 😢 I’m sure the carrots and spinach do love it though. Try planting cilantro it does great in cool weather as well. Your garden is beautiful btw
