Now is a good time to start your seedlings indoors. But which vegetables do we import the most from the USA which can be grown at home? (sh.itjust.works)

I live in Winnipeg and we grow grapes here.

Holy smokes! I thought grapes only grew in temperature BC and Southern Ontario.

Check out Corn Hill Nursery on the east coast for a great selection of grapes that grow in Canada. I'm sure there are similar places in central/west. It used to be mostly wine and jam/jelly grapes like Concord you could grow here but now there are more hardy table grape varieties too.

Obviously we can't get every species to grow here. But we harvest about 25L of grapes from our single vine every year, mostly for jam. And it's amazing. The grape we have is something like a concorde, although I've never actually dug too deep into the species.
