Neighbours talking over the garden gate has long been a tradition. They share gardening tips, complain about the weather and pests yet are ever eager to discuss their gardens. That is what I had in mind when creating this blog. So stop by my garden gate to find out the latest happenings in my garden.

Happy Gardening!

Frost Damage

Our ADLF was April 15 this year and despite the unseasonably warm weather in March, we had heavy frost through the last week of April.  I don't know how much damage was done to our fruit trees that were in bloom.  The local media have reported severe frost damage to apple trees in the area which is not a good sign at all.  Some farmers have reported frost damage to early emerging crops.  None of this sounds promising.  We can expect higher costs for local fruits and corn.  I doubt we will have a good peach or pear crop either but this is our first year for fruit so I have no previous crop to compare it too.  As long as we get some type of crop.

Happy Gardening!
