Late Summer in the Garden
August is most definitely the best month for enjoying the garden! Raspberries, strawberries, tomatoes, peppers and more are all giving back to us for our hard work in the garden.

Even better than the produce, the colour in the garden is exquisite. All of our tropical plants go outside with all the other annuals and they are blooming up a storm! Passion flower, clivia, cannas and callas and even non- hardy hydrangeas are currently being enjoyed immensely!
However, one of the best and worst parts of living on the prairies is our ever-changing weather. It is wonderful but challenging, interesting and frustrating.... but it is what we live with. It is somewhat like our gardens - ever evolving and changing to continue to share the challenges of keeping it both beautiful and fruitful. Already, we have been reminded that it is time to pull out the bunny hugs and the fleece. From 40°C to 15°C is rather a large change to adapt to.
