Garden Update – Spring 2021 On Video

Garden Update June 2021

Welcome to our garden update spring 2021 on Video. Northern Homestead is in Alberta, Canada – plant hardiness zone 3A, elevation 1,037 m (3,402 ft). We turned our yard into a garden and the old garage into a food production place.

We have been publishing garden updates since 2012. You can find them all when you click on growing and hold, or on a phone click on +.

Garden Update

There they are all sorted year by year. However, I’m aware that we mostly do garden updates for ourselves and our fateful readers who want to see how things are growing in our garden.

If you follow us on social media, Instagram, or Facebook you will have seen most of it in real-time. 

You might have noticed that there wasn’t a winter update for the 20/21 winter. We just were not sure if we should continue with our garden updates.

Where does our Homegrown Food come from in the Winter

Or maybe we were too busy enjoying the hammock… :).

The garden update – spring 2021 was mainly recorded on June 4. We try to keep the updates real, with weeds and all that grows in our garden ;). Our garden is a place to enjoy, with no competition for perfection.
