Spring in Innisfail Alberta

We are definitely into spring – almost at summer . .. but some days you would not know it by the weather.  It has been an unusually cool spring.

The weather has been good to get the crops in the area into the ground – but emergence has been slow due to cool temperatures and cold ground.  Frost has barely left the ground in some places around Innisfail.

I myself got finished seeding about 10 days ago – back home in Saskatchewan.  Put in Canola, Wheat and tried about 50 acres of peas this year.  I will have to be heading back to get some spraying done pretty soon.

Spring sports are well underway as I see the ball diamonds busy in the evenings as well as the soccer fields cluttered with kids.  My boys turn to skiing in spring – we headed to the slopes in April and early May – but now the snow is gone until next winter.  Just have to settle for water now.

The Innisfail farmer’s market is back up and running on Thursdays at the arena – head over and check out the excellent offerings by local growers and Crafters.

Construction around Innisfail is still booming by all accounts.  My contractor friends say things have not slowed down a bit.  And with the two new projects – The Innisfail Library and the New Co-op – everyone should stay busy.

Lots of garage sales around Innisfail on the weekends – check out the local signs and go get yourself a bargain.  Hey – why not advertise your garage sale on Innisfailonline.com buy and sell area – go there now by clicking the link!

Have a great time this spring!
