The weather pattern at the island keeps on changing, getting unpredictable. Springtime alright but there are parts of the island that went stormy for less than an hour, hails and snow at the major highway in between Courtenay and Nanaimo. While the rest of the island had no storm, it was just cloudy with just quick drizzle. I know, hot to cold temperature is the one that could make you sick. So, every time I get out of the house have to wear a jacket. Warm clothing advisory.
Unlike before, May is one of the warmest months for planting season in Canada. Supposedly April is the month when you have to get ready with your garden, prepare for your seedlings and to plant your veggies and floral so that in June-July to August all those floral are ready for bloom. The "bulb season blooms" already before and during Spring such as daffodils, tulips, while azaleas, rhododenron, magnolias they bloomed and had withered already. Even the cheery cherry blossoms had its spark for a week or two and then blown away by winds.
If you are waiting for other flowers such as sunflowers, fuschias, bougainvilleas, dahlias, petunias... all these summer flowers will have to wait for the month of June- July-August to September.
Who knows? It depends on the outdoor weather temperature. If you have your own indoor botanical garden with the right thermostat you can grow everything and have a hydrophonic method of growing vegetables.
Anyway, I'm just happy with my fortune plant, banana plant, bougainvillea with lots of healthy leaves without flowers. The bougainvillea hasn't bloom since year 2021. I don't know why.
