Sitting next to the Pacific Ocean, Vancouver has milder temperatures than the rest of Canada, much like Seattle in the USA. City Farmer runs the Compost Demonstration Garden where we use compost to grow food and flowers. Today, in the depths of winter, we harvest food from our bay leaf tree, basil from our indoor AeroGarden, Asian greens from our homemade cold-frame, arugula from our plastic greenhouse, fresh greens from a LifeSpace planter, kale, Brussels sprouts and cabbages from raised earth beds, and beets from beneath that earth.
