Of course, that's not all you can grow in Canada! Many gardeners grow peppers and tomatoes and squash in Canada as well. Tomatoes and peppers can be grown successfully in Canada if started indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date and transplanted outside when weather permits after all chance of frost has passed.

The best types of tomatoes to grow in Canada are varieties that mature quickly or can be started indoors. We have a wide selection of delicious Short Season Tomatoes that are possible to grow in Canada's shorter seasons! Cherry tomatoes are particularly good for growing in Canada as they just keep coming all season long until frost. 

And if you like peppers and making salsas or hot sauces, we have a great selection of the Fastest Growing Peppers that can mature quickly so you get a great harvest before the end of the Canada growing season. When growing pepper seeds, make sure to keep them warm – we like to use seedling heat mats that keep them around 26˚ C  (80˚ F)  for fastest germination.

Above is a Map of Canada’s growing zones that range from Zone 0 (the coldest parts of northern Canada) up to Zone 9 (the mildest coastal regions, notably on Vancouver Island). These zones are assigned based on climatic data including average minimum winter temperatures, frost-free periods, precipitation, and other factors crucial for plant survival. Many gardeners use season-extending techniques like growing in greenhouses, under high tunnels, and small garden bed hoop houses so they can squeeze out more growing time for vegetables.
