Even though that link may not have a location available to Canada, you now know about that particular potato plant. Instead of criticising the author, search for a supplier who can ship to Canada that may have that verity. Not all places can ship to every country. Good luck on your search! 🙂

Hi Juliette. We have readers in the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and many other countries as well. We’re sorry that King Harry isn’t available in Canada via the shared link, but our many U.S. readers will still benefit from having a buy link in the article.

Choose your links wisely. The King Harry potato’s is. Or available in Canada. Best not to get our hopes up.

Great advice, Jessica.

I had great results this year with putting a row cover over my brassica bed in spring after planting my transplants. Almost no pests on my broccoli, cauliflower and kale. And the added benefit was that the row cover trapped the day’s warmth for our cool spring nights.

Also, please spread the word about sweet gum tree balls in repelling slugs. I used them around my hostas and brunnera last year and they remained damage free till frost. I live in Pittsburgh and sweet gum trees are plentiful here. I like the fact the balls merely repel the slugs and not kill them because even slugs have a role in the ecological chain of life in our gardens.
