    Southwestern Ontario and I’m wondering if I should start getting my garden ready to plant soon.

    For real.

    Normal sowing times are way off now down here. Sowing outdoors directly to soil there wasn’t enough time for a lot of things to mature properly.

    The wet bulb situation applies to the ground as well. When it hits 40° and the ground is wet/damp, it basically cooks or rot the roots.

    Then, there was the 3 weeks of no rain.

    Thinking maybe I just might do an indoor garden.

    Not sure how much longer factory farmed crops will be viable in the future anyway.

    Nothing is stable. Nothing is predictable.
