Canadian Gardening: Ordering Blues, 1 by Chilko

Joanne--I remember that the TM shipping was very reasonable but I've tossed the box already. It's shipped from Canada now, which makes life easier. No customs or duty to fuss about.

I'll probably start a Tumbler tomato on January 1st. It grows quite happily in my window in a hanging basket.
I put some Euphorbia in the fridge to chill for 10 days on November 15 and it's disappeared! I know my fridge needs cleaning out, but that's ridiculous.

Winter here? Hah! Arrived about Nov 3 with a 5" snowfall. That never left, and we got more...by November 15th, still in denial, we discovered we were caught in the valley with both vehicles. Had to have our 15 km driveway graded ($840--ouch!) or we would have been without a highway vehicle until next May. At the moment we have about 18" here in the valley, and nearly 3' on the road out to the highway. Yes, winter is here.

The picture is of Chilko helping Dave clean off one of our solar arrays.
