Mark: There are vast differences across Canada. Right here in SW Ontario, we are as far south as you can be in Canada. Actually the most southern tip is on same paralell as Northern CA. That is about 2 hour drive south from here. They really never get snow down there that stays with them all winter. Ten miles to the north of us and home to Mike Soldan, that is snow belt country. I was at a plowing match last summer. Struck up a conversation with a guy and told him of my winter driving experience up there. Oh he said,"Number 7 highway was built along the edge of a snow bank one July." He said you can follow the various cources of number 7 highway from Quebec border to the US border crossing at Sarnia - Port Huron, and north of it is snow belt all the way. I'm not sure whether that continues into Michigan and points west or not. Most of Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnisota and on into the Dakotas are to the north of us right here.

The peas I have planted are up, and were planted on hills or rows I made last fall. I planted them the last day of February, the extra day this year made the difference. I have never planted in Feb. before. I have however had peas a foot high and have snow hit. Kind of amusing to look down the rows of green peas up through the snow. I used to grow them commercially for fresh market trade, so first on market was important. today it is just a gardners chalange. They will survive 10 degrees of frost and the snow as well.
