A Year-Round Harvest

It's looking to be another warm, gorgeous day in Vancouver. With gardens absolutely lush with warm-weather crops such as pole beans, summer squash, and cucumbers, thoughts of winter don't enter many people's minds.

This disconnect between winter gardening and gardeners was perhaps apparent at the UBC Farm market when EYA was there, sprouting broccoli and brussel sprouts on display. Unfortunately, by market's end, many of the winter seedlings remained untouched, but it was a good experience nonetheless.
