We finally get spring and now it snows again.

really just need enough room for the plants to grow and only need to plant what the 2 of you will eat. If ya want a garden why dont you plant!?

My husband does not want me to have one. He thinks it is like on the farm where I would be weeding from sunup to sundown. I was thinking of getting those container boxes and putting them near the back door, but I am on a budget and I would have to pay for it myself. He has the whole back in grass and he hates mowing the lawn. We were thinking of landscaping, but it would cost at least $3,000. I already planted the two blueberry bushes and they are doing okay and a while ago I started the strawberry patch and I also planted some coriander.

It did snow one day in May. But the rest of the month was all right. And now it is June and we did not get that zero freezing overnight, so we can now plant some stuff, that if my husband decides that we need a garden, but he probably won't because he thinks of a garden like those large vegetable gardens they had on the farm back in Saskatoon, where there was a foot between everything.

Just wait those banana trees will soon be there.

We always have weird weather here in Manitoba. Like it is now June and last week we had this horrific thunderstorm, and before that it was hot as blazes. And sometimes I go out in the morning, it is so cold I need my jacket and have to wear slacks, but then I wish I had worn my shorts. Oh and after that thunderstorm, the soil quickly dried up and I just planted some blueberry bushes. However the soil is quite rich around them. It is surprising we did not see any banana trees springing up as well.

I would not be surprised.

It is starting here in Manitoba. It seems we have only two season here: Winter and Summer. Either it is too cold or too hot. I like it hot, but well I am of the age when I do not look that good in shorts or rather the shorts for ladies my size are the ugliest things imaginable, flip floppy all the time, although I did find a couple of tailor ones in Walmart, but now they are too large and have now turned into hipsters.

We had some cool spells in May and I get bronchitis easy so I had been drinking a lot of that throat tea and taking some tablets (echinachea -cannot spell it right) so I would not get a cold. Now it is quite warm so I hope the cold and miserable weather is over, although we did have a thunderstorm last week.

We got to blame this unusual cold weather on someone. I know I do not blame God. After all HE does things to frustrate certain groups like Global Warmers, telling them it is not getting warmer, so I think we should lay the blame on the Global Warmer Aye-Sayers and Predictors themselves. How about it? It is all their fault!

Global warming is a scam to transfer money from the rich western world to the poor Asian and African world. Problem it does not work. Food prices go sky high and that means no one can afford to donate to the poor countries. It still gets 40 to 60 below in January up here. I would think that in Southern California it is hot a lot of the time. Also God is in charge of the weather, not man and the cure for this false global warming would be horrible in cost of human lives and would put us into the dark ages or worse, into an area where live is cheap

I hope not. We sometimes get snow in June here and then we get really worried because by then the gardens have been planted. We do not have one, except for the blueberries, strawberries, and the raspberries. But now we have to worry about the birds. They are so bold here they step aside when you walk on the sidewalk, they just do not fly off.

It is now almost June, and I am afraid we will have a cold spell, like one day of below zero. When we lived in Saskatoon, no one dared to plant until the first week of June because even though May was lovely and warm there was one day in the beginning of June that it suddenly froze. I know there is Indian summer, but I wonder what they call this: Indian winter?

That sounds like Manitoba. We seem to have only two seasons Summer and Winter. Either it is too cold or too hot. The trouble is I prefer it too hot while the most people here prefer it too cold. Now I suppose there will be one cold day in June when everything freezes.

It is. Most of the time it is hot, We had a big thunderstorm this week, and when it is over, it is so humid that you almost cannot stand it, but the ground is drying up fast. Now it is getting warm. On and tomorrow it will be in the eighties. I can take the heat, but there are some here who prefer it to be forty below.

The snow is all gone, but everything is growing like mad, including the dandelions, oh especially the dandelions. We did have some hail storms, and a few thunderstorms, one that happened to catch me when I went to the bank. I got outside after doing what I went there for and the rain really came down. I walked as much under the overhangs as I could, and then I remembered that well I have to pay over one hundred dollars for my shoes if my sandals got damaged, so I took them off, put them in my shopping bag and walked all the way home in my bare feet. But at least it was not snowing.

Being a people person, I would see with the high price of gas and taking out food production for ethanol (encouraged by the global warmers) the elderly and the poor would have a hard time of it. Oh and people do eat the produce of the crops, and the wild animals can adapt and there are so many animal lovers, that they will put places where the animals can come for food and shelter. It is the crops we have to worry about. If the season is too short, then the cost of food goes up, and you must make a choice pay more for good quality food or pay less for junk food. Then your health suffers.

Trouble is that global warming might not be right. So it might be good to find alternative energy like solar panels, wind windmills, and geothermo energy, but when you take the food product out by converting corn and wheat fields for ethanol production, the people suffer. And what if they discover that Al Gore was wrong and it was wrong to boycott the scientists who said we were in for a cooling period, man was not to blame, and this was just a phrase and as soon as it was over, it would cool down, then there will be many people who will suffer. I think we have to see all sides of the story and not just believe Al Gore or those who think that the way to solve global warming is to freeze and have hardly any children.

Yeah,I cann't agree more.Global warming might do great harm to the mormal growing of crops and then it is we who suffered from it.

Thank you. It is starting to get up to seasonable normals here (as if there are some) so that means back to sandals, but now I have to buy some new clothes. I lost weight.

We are now getting our warm weather and planting things -well, I did plant a couple of blueberry bushes and this lady asked me if it would survive. Well I am rather brave and I said yes, that is where I had the compost pile so anything will grow there. I wish my husband let me have a garden. I cannot see me hauling some dirt and boxes for a container garden.

I hope not. I hate unusually cold weather.

I don't like snow that much. I feel the cold way too much, so I prefer the temperature to be 68 degrees and above.I hope it warms up, because it will be May soon and we have to get ready for planting.

So do I. We had a strong wind yesterday and it was blowing against me when I went to help clean the Church, I had to get the church from another member, and in the evening, I had to go to another friend's house to practice my singing. Yes, the wind was against me as well.

Global warming is a scam. It is a way to punish us Westerners and us people of European descent for the progress we made. The farmers in the States are converting their wheat fields into corn, and their corn fields from feeding people and animals to growing corn for ethanol to make the price of food higher. So the intention is to starve the Western World and bring it into poverty as it was back when the Roman Empire was on and the areas around the equator the bread basket of the ancient world and our ancestors were freezing in the cold. They want us to remove our carbon footprints and do you know what that means, maybe a rule that it is all right for people in Asia and AFrica to have children, but not for us. It has always been cold in winter here in Manitoba, Canada and coldest in January, now it was coldest in February. Wait a few years and we will not be able to heat our homes and there will be cases of starvation in the West.
