how to grow the perfect garden this spring

Few things say spring like a fresh garden. Getting your plot ready for the season can spark joy after months of the winter blues. Whether you grow your own fresh produce to use in the kitchen or just want bountiful blooms, here are four tips on how to grow the perfect garden this spring:

know what to grow

Your environment will determine the success of your plants, so it’s important that you consider things like temperature, rain patterns and the amount of sunlight in your outdoor space. Research if the environment will allow seeds to thrive or if your garden is better suited for young plants. It’s always best to grow native plants wherever possible to help nurture your natural environment.

pick your plot

Not everyone has room for an inground garden, so building a garden box may be the perfect choice. Any fearless DIYer can fashion themselves a garden box with easy-to-use hand tools such as the ones from Benchmark. You can find plenty of design plans online to get started, but the best part about building your own DIY garden box is that you can customize it to whatever size and aesthetic fits your space.

start simple

Consider how much time you can dedicate to your garden each week and don’t overplant. Perennial flowers and produce such as carrots and

cucumbers are a great place to start. You’ll learn the dos and don’ts of growing very quickly.

make sure you’re well equipped

Having the right tools and supplies for your garden goes a long way.

You’ll need items including a watering can, proper gloves, hand shovels and mulch – all of which you can get at stores like your local Home Hardware. Expert advice paired with quality equipment will put your green thumb to work. ■

what are bivalent vaccines? what you need to know

You might have heard of bivalent vaccines, but are you still not quite sure what they are? Here’s a quick primer about them and their role in protection against COVID-19.

what is a bivalent vaccine?

• Bivalent means a vaccine is made to target two strains, or variants, of a virus.

• The virus that causes COVID-19 has evolved over time and some of these changes have created new variants of concern, such as Omicron.

• Manufacturers have updated their vaccines to provide better protection against these variants.

• Original COVID-19 vaccines and bivalent vaccines are both very effective in protecting against severe illness and outcomes from COVID-19.

why get a booster?

• Protection from COVID-19 vaccines can decrease over time. Additional doses give you better protection from getting seriously sick or developing complications.

• Even if you’ve been infected already, staying up to date with your vaccines - including booster doses - is recommended for longer-lasting, more effective protection.

• If it has been six months since your last dose or since being in-

fected with COVID-19, it is time to get another booster dose. This is especially important if you are at high risk for severe illness from COVID-19.

Bivalent mRNA vaccines are available to everyone 12 years of age and older. Children 5 to 11 years old can still get a booster dose of an original mRNA vaccine, which continues to provide protection against severe illness and complications.

Talk to your local public health authority to learn more about which vaccines are recommended and available for you. You can find more information at canada.ca/covid-vaccine. ■

5 fun summer ideas for kids and parents

The warmer weather means it’s time for exploring and adventures, especially after spending so much time cooped up indoors. Here are a few creative ways to do family favourites this summer:

take a neighbourhood tour

Try rediscovering an area in your city or town and experiencing it with new eyes. Look for self-guided walking tours online where you can learn about its history and neat facts. Or make a scavenger hunt game out of it, getting everyone to try to be the first to spot some graffiti art, a purple car or a special landmark. Whoever wins can get an extra scoop of ice cream when you visit the local parlour at the end of the day.

check out a drive-in attraction

Who says drive-ins are old school? They’re making a comeback as a safer way to enjoy activities that typically involve crowds in closed spaces. Look for a theatre near you screening the latest Hollywood release or an old classic. Other drive-in options now available include comedy shows and concerts. Pack some cozy blankets and your favourite snacks for a budget-friendly family evening.

camp under the stars near or far

Camping is super popular this summer, but there should still be a few openings left at a national or provincial park that’s a bit further afield or less in demand. Or save yourself

the trip and camp out in your own backyard — the kids will have just as much fun and it’ll be less work for parents. Plan fun activities, like camping charades, crafts with nature and glow-in-the-dark bowling.

enjoy the journey on a road trip

See new places in a safer way with an in-province day trip that’s all about the journey. Schedule stops at outdoor landmarks or attractions and plan to stop at fun local takeout spots

that you pick together as a family. Save money by getting more out of your gas with a high-efficiency fuel like Synergy Supreme. Available at Esso stations, the premium fuel helps keep your engine three times cleaner for more kilometres per tank compared to gasoline meeting minimum Canadian government standards in port-fuel injected engines. Actual benefits are based on continuous use and may vary depending on vehicle type, driving style and gasoline previously used.

visit a new community park

Spend an afternoon at a park you don’t normally go to, pointing out any new trees, plants and birds to your kids. You’ll be surprised how exciting a different playground or sport facility can feel. You can even bring activities for the kids and your laptop to get some work done on a weekday afternoon for a break in your usual routine. ■

The warmer weather means it’s time for exploring and adventures, especially after spending so much time cooped up indoors.

how to get your house organized this season

There’s something about the fresh air, changing colours and kids settling into summer rhythms that make many of us feel like it’s time to restore order to the home. Here are some steps to remember for an easy and comprehensive clean out.

review your systems

Everyone has their own way of organizing; maybe your method was a set of rules you learned from your parents, or maybe you developed a haphazard process out of sheer necessity. Either way, take some time to

evaluate what’s working for you now and what isn’t doing you any favours at this point in your life. You may be surprised at how much better your system becomes.

cut down on the clutter

The less stuff you have, the less messy things can get, and the less you must clean and organize. So, take stock of what you own and what you need, and then get rid of what you don’t want or require. While a family with young kids will amass more stuff than a retiree who lives on their own, the principle remains the same

and can make organizing easier in the long run.

don’t forget your digital life

It’s easy to miss organizing the intangible aspects of the home like your online accounts or the apps on your phone. Regularly taking the time to check on your accounts, update any weak or repeated passwords, and update your software and operating systems will help protect you from cyber threats like phishing.

summer glamping tips and tricks

Camping is a rite of passage for many Canadians. For some of us it’s more of a nightmare. If you’re not too keen on the discomforts of camping, you can add a little bit of luxury and go glamping with minimal effort. Here are some tips to make your excursion more enjoyable:

glimmering light

More than looking pretty, some twinkling lights can also help you prevent mosquito bites and find your way around the site. Try placing citronella candles in glass jars at convenient intervals. Or poke holes in a pattern into clean tin cans and add tealights or short pillar candles. It’s

a fun craft that sparkles with beautiful patterns in the night sky. You can keep Bic’s newest EZ Reach Lighter on hand to help set the mood. The extended 1.45-inch wand helps keep your fingers away from the flame, even when lighting tough-to-reach places like tea lights and kindling.

sweet dreams

Camping isn’t known for providing a great night’s rest, but a few simple upgrades can help you sleep like a log. Bring a foldable cot or air mattress to lift your body above the hard bumpy ground without taking up too much space in your vehicle. Add a cushy mattress topper, soft and cozy bedding from home, and a

couple of comfy pillows and you’ll be all set for a restful slumber.

fine food

There’s no doubt camping has some classic meals and snacks, from trail mix to hot dogs, fresh-caught fish and s’mores. But with a Dutch oven or sturdy frying pan there’s plenty more easy and creative food to be had. Why not step it up with fresh pancakes, peach cobbler or an aromatic stew? A little bit of prep at home can go a long way on the fire. You can also treat yourself with gourmet goodies like fancy chocolate for your s’mores, or unexpected additions to your trail mix, such as dried mango or candied nuts. ■

4 ways to use local strawberries this summer

Summer is almost here and so is the best of our growing season. Local produce not only tastes better, it also supports Canadian growers, as well as reduces our carbon footprint. While there are many stars of our local growing season, strawberries are the favourite of many.

The small, unique and deliciously red berries from fields across the country are available for a short window, but pack a punch that keeps us coming back for more each year.

If you find yourself purchasing more strawberries than you know what to do with this summer, here are a few ways to enjoy them:

take it outdoors

Strawberry skewers on the barbecue will be your new party trick. Lightly oil and grill strawberries to top a salad. Or soak them in rum or bourbon or a touch of vanilla extract or balsamic for a non-alcoholic option before skewering and barbecuing for a few minutes, flipping once for a deliciously warm topping for your favourite ice cream or cheesecake.

s’mores the way

For a sweet and tart twist on the summer classic simply add sliced strawberries to your usual s’mores combo or take it to the next level with chocolate hazelnut spread and a few slices of banana, instead of the traditional chocolate combo. Marshmallow-dipped strawberries also make a great fireside companion. Melt marshmallows on the stovetop or use marshmallow fluff and dip a skewered strawberry in the melted marshmallow, roasting to perfection over the fire.

jazz up your jam

Making jam with local berries is a tradition, and while your standard strawberry jam is delicious on its own, why not make a few new variations? Try adding a cup of prosecco to your standard jam recipe for a sparkling surprise or some fresh-chopped basil for a savoury spin on the classic favourite. Spread on a scone or add to a charcuterie board for an extra taste of summer.

savoury is the new sweet

A summer salad with strawberries – like a spinach salad with pe-

cans and a poppy seed or balsamic vinaigrette – may already be in your repertoire, but there are many more ways to use strawberries in a salad. Mix strawberries and fresh basil, drizzle with a mixture of olive oil, honey and lime juice and serve with grilled President’s Choice Halloumi. Strawberries, feta and mint is also a delicious combination and can be used like a salsa with fresh naan.

Local strawberries are now available at Loblaws stores across Canada. ■

Local produce not only tastes better, it also supports Canadian growers, as well as reduces our carbon footprint.

4 ways to kickstart your fall financial cleanup

As the weather turns colder and summer vacations end, many take stock of their money and revisit their financial goals and priorities.

Here are some tips to stay on track: review your household budget

An oldie but a goodie, reviewing your weekly, monthly and yearly budgets will ensure that they coincide with your priorities and will help you identify possible areas where you can scale back. Look for digital tools that can give you a quick, personalized picture of your day-to-day spending

to make informed decisions about your money.

reassess savings goals

Are you making progress toward your short and long-term financial goals? What actions would help you reach them sooner? Are they still what you want? Consider using a tool like BMO’s Savings Goals to help you set up, manage and keep track of your contributions.

automate it

Don’t rely on your memory to pay your bills on time; switch to automated billing to help you stay on

track and never miss a payment. A feature like BMO QuickPay can help manage payment due dates and simplify the payment process conveniently from your mobile device or desktop.

toss out (some) paper

To help eliminate physical clutter in your home, consider receiving electronic statements for your credit cards, loans, brokerage accounts and household bills. They are eco-friendly and can help you more easily track your finances with all your statements in one place. ■
