Here we generally plant gardens on May long weekend (Victoria Day - around May 24th for Queen Victoria's birthday). Sometimes there is still frost in the ground and gardens don't get planted until June. I usuallly plant tomatoes in May in planters and bring them inside overnight so the frost doesn't get them! I don't know what I'll do this year because we leave for Europe on the 24th of May!
It looks like March has come in like a lion this year, and hopefully will go out like a lamb!
It's -40 with windchill today. My brother just got back from Jamaica on Sunday so this must feel way worse to him! My parents are enjoying the sunshine in Mexico.
As for myself, I'm sick with a cold so I'm taking my second day off work. I had planned to go in but Scott called me from Vancouver last night and said I don't sound well enough and I might as well stay home and not spread my germs to everyone else. I feel like I'm letting everyone down so I did let the office know I'll work from home and have one request to work on already.
There was a pretty bad blizzard yesterday, and by noon, all of the highways leading out of the city were deemed too dangerous to travel on. There was zero visibility. I'm glad I was sick or I never would have made it home!
