Hi there fellow bluenoser and welcome to the site!
I am new here as well and so far have found lots of useful info concerning outdoor growing. I am going to give it a try this summer for the first time.
So far my head is spinning with some of the information on here - I just tried to get a sunlight table from a recommended site but could not figure out exactly where NS is in relation to Greenwich Mean Time. I will try it again tonight.
Enough for now - just nice to see a fellow Nova Scotian on here!
