Looking for Canadian gardening supplies? 5 brands you can shop on Amazon
Canadian gardeners have patiently waited all winter for the frost to thaw and the days to get longer. Now, with promises of double-digit temperatures and sunny days on the horizon, it's time to kick-start your garden preparations for spring and summer. As the Canadian growing season is relatively short, gardeners will want to make the most of the next few weeks for a lush, healthy garden this summer. Frost can linger into May, but the general rule of thumb for Canadian gardeners is to plant in and around the May long weekend. Frost-hardy plants can be seeded earlier, like cold-tolerant perennials, leafy greens, carrots, and potatoes. Still, most gardeners will want to wait a few more weeks to plant warm-season vegetables like tomatoes, beans and peppers, herbs, and sun-loving flowers. Whether you have acres to play with or a few pots on a small balcony, your gardening needs will look different. That said, high-quality gardening tools, supports, mulch, fertilizer and soil are universal. If you're near a greenhouse, now is a great time to visit. If you live further away or don't have access to a vehicle, Amazon Canada is a handy resource for Canadian gardening essentials — especially those from Canadian brands.
