Gardening in Vaughan

What a Vaughan yard asks of a raised bed.

Kleinburg, Woodbridge and Maple lots have the room that Toronto lots do not. Three Wide 72 Deep beds in a row is a proper kitchen garden, deep enough for everything, at a height that saves your back, and the size page prints the growing area for the three. Thornhill's older streets run smaller and suit a pair of Wide 48s.

Vaughan has no Environment Canada station with frost normals of its own, so the figures come from the three around it: Pearson to the southwest averages a last frost of 27 April and a first of 20 October, Buttonville to the east 3 May and 13 October, and the King Smoke Tree station to the north, in the 1981-2010 normals, 6 May and 9 October. Woodbridge and Concord sit near the Pearson end of that range and Kleinburg near the King end. The city is zone 6b on the 1991-2020 hardiness map, a full zone up from 5b.

Rabbits are the Vaughan gardener's usual complaint. A 30 inch elevated bed ends it; deer, on the rural edge toward Kleinburg and the Humber valley, need a fence.

Will an elevated bed stop rabbits?

Yes. Thirty inches is more than a rabbit will climb, and the smooth steel legs give it nothing to grip. It will not stop deer, which reach a 30 inch bed without effort; on the rural edge of Vaughan a deer fence or netting over hoops is still the answer, and netting is easier to fit on a bed than on a ground plot. Squirrels dig anywhere, so cover new sowings with mesh until they are up.

How do I water three beds?

A soaker hose in each, run from one tap through a timer, is the simple version, and the whole run costs less than one bed. Deep beds want a slow soak twice a week in July rather than a daily sprinkle; the 12 inches of soil holds it. Set the timer for early morning so the leaves are dry by evening, and check the end bed by hand, because it is the one the hose reaches last.
