Hello from Nova Scotia

[zigspider]

Hi all,

just found this forum so thought I ought to say hello.

Currently living in Nova Scotia, Canada, so conditions a little different from those we have encountered in UK and France.

Hoping to finally get the garden going this year, there's lots to do as we'll be starting from scratch, so expect lots of questions.

Jerry

Welcome to the vine. Hope the forum will be useful even though we may have different climate or season, do we? Mind my geography, is Nova Scotia even colder? Feel free to update your location against your profile so that the others know where you're from for advice appropriate to your regional climate.

Hello and welcome Zigspider. We're all currently having a good old moan about temperatures of -9C, perhaps you can make us all feel better?

Will you have to keep polar bears out of your brassicas?

[Nicos]

Hi there - and welcome to the Vine!
...I have visions of polar bear-proof fencing now Paul!!

Hello Zigspider, welcome to the vine .

You probably got colder winter (are your climate similar to Montreal ?) but is it warmer summer than we are here ? Enjoy your gardening, yes it is hard work at the beginning but you will soon see the result and your plant/veg will pay your hard work with it's tasty fresh produce.
Enjoy your stay here.

Hi and welcome. It's snowing here just now - you'd feel really at home!

Hello Zigspider, a big welcome from me too! Do you keep chickens? Well, I have to ask, I'm the Birdie Wife after all and Canada has it's own rare breed, the Chantecler, very hardy and good for eggs and meat too if you're that way inclined Looking forward to hearing about your gardening and how you cope with the climate - it's probably not that dissimilar from up here in the far north of Scotland where I live.

Welcome, Zigspider. Whereabouts in NS? My Dad lived first in Shubanacadie then in Halifax. Guess it's still really, really cold at the mo.
