I’d like to plant them in my garden. I’ve been calling around to different garden centres but to no avail. Please help! Planting tips are also appreciated.
Looking to get my plants outside this week, as they are getting a bit big for their starter pots. Are we in the clear, or should I wait a bit?
Time to get these babies in the ground.
Just venting, as I was hoping to do some serious planting this weekend, but with the forecast for a low of zero Monday overnight, I’ll wait until later in the week.
The weather has changed so much in the last 10 to 15 years (at least), that it has lost all predictably. It used to be that waiting for May long weekend meant you were safe to plant the garden.
I know that I could plant now and cover everything at night, but I’m lazy that way, lol. That and I want some consistent Spring warmth.
Hello!
I would like to plant a small fruit tree in my front yard (think cherry tree size). I'd need a tree that doesn't need a partner to produce fruit. I tried to plant a cherry tree sapling, but it got eaten by rabbits (took the cage I put around it off to early). Any good alternatives? Any recommended nurseries? Thanks!
Hi, I got this pamphlet in the mail the other day. It is from an organization that claims they will give you a free fruit tree and companion plants for your front yard? Not sure how legit it is? It appears the only real "catch" is that you have an info plague placed alongside it. It looks to be only for residents in the East Kildonan and North Kildonan area for right now.
Has anyone heard of these people or have any more info on them?
Anyone direct sowing seeds in Winnipeg yet? Is it still too cold?
I have some lettuce, carrots, beans and flowers i would like to get started but I’m worried nothing will happen or that they’ll just die with the cold temps this next week.
Any advice? Should I go for it, or wait another week or two?
Just lamenting the crummy long weekend weather, like everyone else. I usually like to plant on the May Long (realizing I may have to cover a few nights) but sometimes wait until the weekend after. Fingers crossed for next weekend.
My cousin has these trees/bush in her yard and she’s not sure what they are or how to remove them. She mentioned trying to cut them down but they just come back.
She’s only had this house for a couple years so were not sure how long it’s been in the yard, if it was planted there of it it’s always been there.
Is this something we can remove ourselves?
Has anyone seen pond plants available at any greenhouses around Wpg?
Hey everyone!
Does anyone know if any of the Winnipeg and area greenhouses are carrying Iresine this year?
My usual greenhouse didn’t order any, and I’m looking to recreate my deck planters that I had last year, and the Iresine was beautiful in them.
Many thanks.
I just started gardening last year, and was flying by the seat of my pants. Most of my vegetable garden died, and so many trees too. I want to have a better success rate this year.
I started hardening off my trees, flowers, and bare root strawberries, to be ready to plant next weekend. I would imagine I should be doing the same for my vegetable starts, but that will be a lot of work to move outside every day. Does anyone here notice a difference between planting directly vs hardening off?
I have read that mixing asprin with water can help with root development? Does anyone do this or have experience?
My tomatoes faired pretty well last year, but my beets, carrots, melons, squashes, and peppers did nothing.
Is there some additional soil prep I can do to help? Does planting later help?
I am trying to grow some watermelons, small sugar and atlantic giant pumpkins, canteloupes, and butternut squashes, where should my expectations be set for results on these?
Thanks for any help.
Winnipeg residents can come get up to 100L of compost per vehicle.
Should I do anything about these roots since they wont be seeing soil outside for another couple weeks.my pumpkin plant also has a root coming out.
Im new so I dont know what to do in this situation. Thanks for any help! Last time I posted I got so much helped information I used to redo my old pods and try again.
Helpful gardeners, where are "Proven Winners apricot solenia begonias"? It is specifically the buttery golden orange coloured variety that tolerates more sun than usual.
Not to be confused with Dummen Orange apricot variety which is very pink. This pink variety is everywhere that I've checked (unless I missed it) Lacoste, St Marys, Red Valley, Jensens, A Pattersons, and Shelmerdines.
If I have to I'll settle, but ideally I'll be happiest with the golden Proven Winners one. For that I need you to be my eyes inside and outside Winnipeg please!
