Today we are visiting with Keith who is located halfway between Thunder Bay, Ontario, and Winnipeg, Manitoba, in Zone 3.

He says, “I am 70 years old, and I am guessing that I started my first garden somewhere between the ages of 6 and 10.
.
I grew up on a farm about three hours south of where we currently live. That first garden was about an 8-foot by 8-foot plot that I put a crude fence around within my parents’ chicken range to take advantage of well-amended soil.
It would have contained some basic vegetables like carrots, cucumbers, radishes, and probably a few marigolds for color.
The photos I am sending you today are from the little oasis we have created on the 40-acre property we purchased as a clean slate piece of bush in 1977, one year after our marriage.
It has gone through a lot of evolution from the simple vegetable garden I started in 1978 that was quite a distance from the building site because there just happened to be a little clearing there.”
