Growing a garden has so many benefits to our family of 4 that we count down the days to growing one every year. We look forward to the fresh veggies and fruits that line our plates and cooking up delicious recipes to preserve for the our long cold winter. We cherish the time as a family weather we are in the garden, cooking in the kitchen or even carving our own pumpkins for Halloween.

Gardening teaches patience and responsibility to our children and most of all disappointment because we all know growing your own garden doesn’t always go as planned. Our kids are learning where there food comes from, how to grow, harvest, preserve and most of all enjoying the fruits of our labor. There is nothing better than fresh tasting and home grown fruits and vegetables.

It’s -25 Celsius and snow still covers the frozen soil but our days are starting to get longer and we can feel the warmth of the sun. we have to start planning our zone 3 summer garden.

Living in Alberta Canada we have a short growing season so starting your seeds early is essential. Certain crops like peppers and Tomato’s we usually start end of February where as crops like your root veggies we just sow in ground May long weekend around the last frost.

  1. For Christmas this year I received 2 aero gardens! Might be something you’d be interested in…I planted fresh herbs, some grape tomatoes, and different lettuces, I pick lettuce every 3, maybe 4 days, and the herbs the same! Has kept us with fresh, organic salads for the winter, and all is still going strong! I’d like to get some more more hydroponic gardens, for some fresh veggies, w/o the cost attached. I fear thing are only going to get worse! The rest I plant and can also, during summer/fall! These do not take up very much room at all!

  2. Such great advice! My husband grew up on a farm and sometimes plants vegetables. I am an artist and I share my painting demos and studio tours here. So much variety on Youtube. Cheers!

  3. Great to start planting the seeds, getting ready for the coming spring gardening. Your kid is learning early about gardening, that is really nice. Thumbs up! 13

  4. OOOHHH Amazing garden and family job, thanks very much Alberta Adventurer Family
