I've just noticed this forum, and had hoped it would give me a connection to some other northern gardeners, since there is no forum for that. From the other postings I've seen, is it that we cannot mail seeds to or from Canada? What a pity. Well, even if that is the case, I'd like to visit with some folks that grow cool weather crops.

Here in Seward, our last frost is usually passed by June 1, and our first frost could come anytime from September on. It's a short season, but many of the cool weather crops are quite happy here. Our winters are reasonably mild, being along the coast on the Kenai Peninsula in Southcentral Alaska... the temps seldom get down below zero. We're likely to see rain as well as snow in the winter.

Anybody out there have a similar climate?
