I'm just going out to pick a few cucumbers that are ready. Oh there are 9. I guess I'm doubling the relish recipe. Marketmore cucumbers #gardeningincanada #zone4a

Here are the "date of last #freeze" for #nwmi... So basically, wait until at least #May to plant anything outside... (And this is why #northernMichigan doesn't have #fireflies or poisonous #snakes https://www.weather.gov/apx/template_news_frostfreezespring #gardening #zone4a

Speaking of cold weather... Ever wondered how cold it gets in different parts of #michigan ? Here's the USDA Hardiness Zone map...Look how most of #Detroit and #GrandRapids are the warmest ( #Zone6a ) , and how the lake temperatures keep the left coast almost as warm up to #nwmi & the #straits of #mackinac. As you go north and inland you get down to #zone4a . these zones inform date of last frost and what plants survive the winter https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d1/Michigan_Hardiness_Zone_Map.webp/530px-Michigan_Hardiness_Zone_Map.webp.png #puremichigan #grmi #kzoo #swmi #miwx

At what point do I accept that the celeriac seeds I bought this year are not going to germinate and just plant a ton of baby bok choy instead? Because that seems to have a 120% germination rate, lol. #gardening #zone4a
