Don’t let that snow stop you. Gardening culture might be out of fashion in the Okanagan, but, hey. No need to give up too quickly.

If you kick through that snow, you will find the wheel to that barrow. By spring, you’ll be able to start hauling dirt around — not because hauling dirt around is important, but because attention is. By April, a garden will suggest itself, right where it wants to be. You’d better be ready and start now. The year is so new, and already you have responsibilities. One day at a time! Together we can do this!
