Canadian gardening zone 0/1 and about 70-ish day season. If it is affected by sunlight it is going to bolt at this latitude. 🇨🇦

The ground is thawed enough in 2 of the 4 raised beds for planting garlic. Most people this far north spring plant garlic.

I sowed tomatoes and Brussels sprouts this weekend. I also sowed some flowers. Moving forward I think I will focus on more edible planting but the flowers do help my food garden and I have the seeds already.

Yellow light drifts through the pines so tall,
Where the river bends in a quiet glow,
A hush of gold as the soft winds blow.

I did a trip yesterday and stocked up on all my seed starting supplies. I also have liquid mushroom spawn in the mail that should be here next week. I am happy to have a distraction from ::waves wildly:: all this because my nerves can hardly take anymore.

The Cabin hums with embered light,
The Frozen world is still at night,
As snow drifts whisper through the trees,
A silent dream upon the breeze.

I am lacking motivation to do my winter chicken coop clean-out. I bag up all the bedding in old feed bags for future use in my garden. After this tea, I am going to just get it done with.

‘The Frozen Night’
Through the frozen night, the sled dogs race with frost on their fur and snow on their face.
The moon hangs low in the icy air. As winds bite sharp, the dogs don’t care.
With paws that pound and spirits brite, they chase adventure through the night.

I went through my edible plant seeds and made up my lists of what I am growing and how much. I also have made a list of what mushroom spawn I want to order for mushroom growing this year. I have started some flowers and herbs already. #garden

How does one describe home? Here’s a piece inspired by just soaking up the environment around me: the still, crisp air. The movement of the evening sky. The days that feel, at times, so long….and at other times not nearly long enough.

I am having one of those days so decided to put a caribou roast in the oven. The smell of it cooking is making me feel better. I am still using potatoes from my garden but I think they will only be good for another couple of weeks.

For my mental health I have decided to take on a gardening project of developing a landrace squash for here. No idea if it will work but it will be a couple of years before I know and I need something to focus on in the next couple of years. I like butternut squash so that is what I am starting with

It is -40°C/F right now and I get grumpy when it is this cold. I mean it could be -50°C (the coldest I have experienced is -55°C before windchill I think) but I am still grumpy.
