Hello to anyone who might stumble across this message! Now that I have got plants in the ground in our new location in British Columbia, and spring is in sight, I have started a new blog (still on Blogger). I am documenting my adventures with dry-land native plants and a range of water-wise perennials, while living in an apple orchard in Summerland. I also have put up a page about my use of LED grow lights, as I am finding retailers and information hard to find. Find me at my new blog, Apples and Asclepias.
My Garden Blog: A website to document the challenge of growing a variety of perennials in a northern Canadian climate. I post plenty of pictures of my gardening projects and welcome comments. La Ronge, Saskatchewan is in Zone 1b (USDA zone 2a), sitting on the Canadian shield at 55° 06' N latitude, 105° 16' W longitude.
