Thanks for letting me join your group. I'm Torsten Sandberg, Priest (Lutheran), hockey-enthusiast who loves maple syrup. Growing garlic too. My collection currently includes 110 varieties. My farm is located relatively north, some 59" northern latitude. I have even managed to integrate up to 6 representatives of the Creole growth group in Finland. In Finland, we live by the grace of the Golf stream. My home Province is Proper Finland and its relatively close coastal region.
Finlands old Capital Turku hails here. My home place St. Martin is at the same altitude as Whitehorse, Yukon. Music is growing relatively well here.
All in all, my intention is to plant about 4,200 cloves and 6,000 bulbuls next fall. If there is someone among you who knows the Finnish language, I can send them a link where it is possible to download a Garlic-related magazines of the association we founded. It has an international ISSN code.
Spring has been special here. Some early turbans sprouted already in January when there was a mild period. It's almost the first of April and it's time for hard night frosts. Either way, spring wins.
Here in Varsinais-Suomi, we are planning a new type of garlic market. Ontario garlic week inspires us a lot and the concept of Toronto festivals.
I hope that Vancouver will do well in the draftin they could draft Connor Bedard. Montreal too, of course. But… Have the Hockey Gods Forgiven the dirty trick of measuring Gtretzky’s stick in 92-93 Finals and Patric Roy-trade yet…
Yours.
Torsten Sandberg
