Alberta is not known for having an extensive growing season… which can make it difficult to grow some vegetables, herbs, flowers, or other garden plants from seed to maturity! With only 3-5 months of decent weather to grow in (depending on the year), most gardeners ’round here need to get creative. A quick and easy way to get around the short growing season is to purchase bedding plants and vegetables that have already had a good start from your local garden center (Hey! That’s us!) in the spring. But if you want to enjoy the reward of growing your garden from tiny seeds to a full-grown, planty-paradise, then your best bet is to start some of your plants early and indoors.<\/p>\n
