My Future Ancient Trees

Ania Marczewska
I am impatiently growing a garden in rural Quebec. I love experimenting with growing fruit and vegetables. I find it hard to just sit down and do nothing in the garden.
Gardening by proxy

Garden under the Snow
Winter can be such a different experience for gardeners in different zones. For those of us in frosty climes, it is a period of snow gardens.
Fall is the Best Season for Weeding
I like weeding. When I am confused or tired, I can always go weeding, and come back home with a sense of a mission accomplished. Weeding is undervalued as a garden task and I will try to convince you to do some more weeding this season.
