Vancouver Gloating - My flowers are coming up!
After living most of my life in Ontario, and working many a cold, blizzard filled winters as a linesman for Bell Canada, I never get over the fact that my flowers start budding at this time of year!
Hears a few more bonuses about living southwestern BC. 1. I rarely ever wear a winter coat anymore. 2. I can handle the rain much better than snow. 3. The people are very laid back and super nice. I LOVE BC! :biggrin: |
Actually everything is about 6 weeks late this year, my snowdrops are only just starting to flower now along with a few early crocus and I had to wear a winter coat often enough for it to get dirty

Bah!!!
I get enough of this from my parents :p The retired out in Quallicum Beach a couple years back and they love to remind my of how the roses are blooming while I am still dealing with snow and ice :twised: |

Hahahaha, yeah yeah. :lol:
Maybe one day I can come be a gloater too. :) I was working with a company who had to move a control room from Burnaby to Edmonton a few years back. You should have heard the complaining. "My roses! My previous award winning roses!! I can't grow roses in Edmonton wahhhh!!!" And all the while I was thinking .. you know, Edmonton actually has a better growing season for gardeners than Calgary ... so quitcher'whinin'-cuz-it-could-be-worse-you-could-have-been-transferred-to-Calgary!! I think it would be pretty hard though to be forced into a move to Alberta to keep your job. So I did kinda feel bad for the dudes. I guess we .. um .. don't have a sales tax? But I'll take a PST for spring in February that's fershure. |
I got grass!
|
Actually, this is the first year my front lawn turned yellow!
|
I think I need to move to BC!
|
It may be cold here in Edmonton, but the sun is shinning.

Gah you guys are mean :evil:
