Here in the Helena area ( Jefferson City) we don’t plant starts until June 1st, and the season lasts through September With frosts about half way through the month. As I write, my garden is pretty much cleared out except for cabbage. Garlic is one thing I love to grow. I have worked hard to fine...
I have a sister-in-law in Charly Lake BC, near Ft St Johns (if this is wrong I got it from my husband) She is a HUGE gardener. She grows most of their food. BC has an interesting climate. I lived a few years in Porthill, Idaho right on the border. We had an insane growing season up there!
