Nothing special, just some potting soil and some cups.

Fill up with dirt, make a hole and drop the Brownies in and water lightly.

    100%, our last frost is ~May 25. So it’ll snow on and off, it’ll be jacket weather in the morning and shorts in the afternoon.

    It’s also extremely common for us to have no snow at times during winter, we have a rather unique weather phenomenon called Chinook (Fohn) winds.

    A strong föhn wind can make snow one foot (30 cm) deep almost vanish in one day.[6] The snow partly sublimates[7] and partly melts and evaporates in the dry wind. Chinook winds have been observed to raise winter temperature, often from below −20 °C (−4 °F) to as high as 10–20 °C (50–68 °F) for a few hours or days, then temperatures plummet to their base levels.

      Interesting! How long is your growing season? I moved from an area where plants grew nearly all year round to a place where it’s too cold 6 months out a year, and I’ve had quite a few casualties, sadly. I’m having to relearn what they need during the seasons, and when to do what.

        Calgary.

        It’s easier to just say June-July-Aug, there is absolutely stuff that just can’t be grown without starting early or using season extenders.

        Tomatoes and peppers have to go in as established plants.
