Hi, I live in Ottawa and would love to develop a seed trading network for the growing conditions in the locality. I know Mike hails from here. Any others?

Oh, anyone very near me in Ottawa interested in Jeruselum Artichoke or Chinese Artichoke (limited) tubers, let me know in the fall and I"ll get some to you.

OG, for the time being, I am just beyond the Valley. You will get snow today I'm told. I'm far enough to the southwest that my forecast is rain, lol.

OG, there are a lot of folks from Michigan and the like here. American gardener has a pretty similar climate, so does flowerpower. We should meet one of these days, I'll bring my boxes ofseeds, I also have friends that are not here. And I am breeding , trialing and selectingfor the area too. Sammyqc is across the river from you. She might not have a huge collection as she says ( I dunno, really), but she has a veru good selection of maters , I can tell you.

Perhaps this should be retitled: North Eastern NA ;D
My seed collection is also modest but growing.

Yes, 'The Northeast' is a good way of describing the area.
Okay, so I lied about the snow. I was chatting with someone from Carleton Place earlier in the evening and she said that they have snow covering. There's a dusting on the windshield of my truck, but nothing staying on the ground (for now). Still trying to snow, but honestly? I think it's too c-c-c-c-c-cold out there.

We have a blanket of snow now, they say 15 cm or so coming. It is beautiful though...

Well I think we have about 5-8 cms accumulated but more fell. The kids loved it spending an hour outdoors playing and uncovering my coldframes... for fun.
