A look at today’s Edmonton weather by Environment Canada.

What a beautiful morning! Sun shining, birds singing but still a crisp bite in the air. Hopefully, we can get past overnight lows in the negative soon. It would be great to see the lawn start to turn green and get some pretty flowers planted.

I’m not a great gardener. I plant some flowers but I don’t really know what I’m doing. I try to find ones that will do well with a healthy level of forgetfulness but lots of nice colours to make everything more cheerful. I don’t know what fertilizer to use or which potting soil would help things grow better but at least I try!

I wish I had a green thumb and the time to grow something amazing but I will have to settle for mediocre and cheerful. Maybe once I’m retired I can get more into gardening and flowers.
