Oak Summit Nursery · Southern Manitoba

thirty degrees (80F) with a chance of frost describes our spring and fall some years. early september frost is real here, often followed by weeks of nice weather. last night was 1 degree above freezing, so I ran a sprinkler all night over our tomato and pepper garden. survived, and now in the clear for a bit. Here in southern Manitoba we often have frost early june in the same way, making for 90-100 days frost free.. but really except for a few nights the season is a couple weeks longer on each end.
