Believe it or not, like it or not, Christmas is less than a month away. Thanks to a mother who never failed to celebrate no matter how difficult the circumstances, I love everything about the season. Well, almost everything.

It is amazing that already at the Saskatoon School of Horticulture we are growing a huge variety of things. Yes, even though winter is barely here, time this morning was spent on happily seeding a huge variety of herbs.

A good winter garden project is growing microgreens. Microgreens are thin, delicate plants of herbs or salad greens that can provide fresh greenery to your meal and are especially appreciated in the winter.

We would like to send a bouquet to the wonderful soul who dropped off several pairs of mittens and touques at the North Battleford Comprehensive High School for the children at the day care. We appreciate your kindness and thoughtfulness.

The Battlefords AAA Stars (14-6-0-0) had a good game, and then a bad game over the weekend against Notre Dame's two SMAAAHL teams.
