Hi, I'm Jordan. I am the creator of Get Growing With Jordan. I am a Canadian gardener located in Southwestern Ontario, which is Zone 6A.
I became a passionate gardener at a relatively young age. Ever since I was a young child, my Nana (mother's mother) taught us the skills of growing veg in the backyard garden, next to the driveway. The fundamentals were taught at a young age which in time it became habit and provided the fuel to keep the passion for gardening alive.
I wouldn't call myself a professional gardener, nor an expert. But I would like to think that I have gained years of experience and can certainly help guide others to experiment with plants & gardens.
I consider gardening to be a never ending experiment to encourage vegetation to grow to its fullest potentials. With each year we are alive, we get a cycle of seasons to test out new growing methods or grow something that you have never grown before. Take advantage of each season to its fullest and surely you can only gain the knowledge and mental grow from doing so.
I grow vegetables in my garden from the spring to fall months. Veggies that I have grown before include: Peppers, Carrots, Beets, Arugulas, Leaf Lettuce, Curly Kale, Spinach, Tomatoes, Bok Choy, Cucamelons, Various Herbs
My main flower garden is in the front yard however more recently I started growing flowers along the side of my property as well as in the back garden.
I have recently taken a passion for growing tulips, hyathynce and daffidils in the spring, in both containers and in the grown. I will plant bulbs in the fall, usually around Halloween - Remembrance Day. I will keep containers sheltered in the garage.
I have a large collection of house plants - some of which I move outdoors during the hot summer months. Its seems like every year my houseplant collection keeps growing!
