It may not feel like it - but spring is just around the corner! Even during these last few winter months there are quite a few tasks you can tick off to get a headstart on your spring gardening. From taking inventory of your tools to checking your compost, check out our tips below for getting your garden spring ready!
  • Get your compost ready as this is vital for a healthy garden. This includes checking existing compost for mould.
  • Get your seeds growing, whether it be inside by a window or in a greenhouse. This way they are ready to get outside and in the ground by May or June.
  • During warmer periods you can get out and start preparing your soil. Breaking it up and turning it saves time during the warmer days in late April and early May
  • Dig out your gardening gloves and any other tools you might need so they’re easy to find when you’re ready to head outside.
  • Take stock of your garden tools, make sure everything is in working order, cleaned off, and take note of what might need to be replaced.

While it might be too early to plant most of our gardens, it’s the perfect time of year to tick off a few tasks off of your to-do lists and get out into our gardens. What are your tips for planning your spring garden?

Not everyone knows that Saskatoon Berries are closely related to the apple family. They’re high in fibre, protein and antioxidants and are considered a better source of calcium than red meats!

They’re Canada’s Superfruit and it doesn’t really matter if you eat them straight from the bush or in your favourite pie.

Picking Saskatoon Berries may take a lot of time, so here’s a super easy recipe for a sweet and delicious no bake cheesecake!

Ingredients: 

  • Saskatoon berries (3 cups),
  • 1/4 cup sugar,
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice,
  • 2 cups whipping cream,
  • 16 oz cream cheese (2 bricks),
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice,
  • 1/2 cup sugar,
  • 30 crushed graham crackers,
  • 1/2 cup melted butter,
  • 1 tbsp sugar

Instructions:

  1. Whip your whipping cream and set aside.
  2. In a bowl, whip the cream cheese with lemon juice and 1/4 sugar. Combine with the whipping cream.
  3. In a separate bowl, add three cups of saskatoon berries, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 2 tbsp lemon juice and blend. Mix cream cheese and saskatoon berry mixture together.
  4. Crush 30 graham crackers and mix with 1/2 cup butter and 1 tbsp sugar.  Press into the bottom of a cheesecake pan.

Spread the cheesecake mixture and chill in the refrigerator for about 4 hours. Enjoy!!!
