Stayed away from the plant bedding shops this weekend. We do need to get various things but I'll wait for their post-Victoria-Day weekend restock.
For global people, it's Canada's biggest gardening weekend here.
Victoria Day is named in honour of a lady named Victoria, who, back a century ago, lived on Vancouver Island and was celebrated for her ability to predict the last frost of spring, and her penchant for buying beer by the 24-bottle case.
Victoria Day: Canada’s Royal Holiday
Observed on the Monday before May 25, Victoria Day marks Queen Victoria’s birthday and has been a Canadian holiday since 1845. It became a national statutory holiday in 1901 after her death, and remains the official celebration of the monarch's birthday in Canada—even under later sovereigns. 🇨🇦 #Canada #VictoriaDay #Monarchy #CanadianHistory #StatutoryHoliday
