Here are a few reasons why pickleball has surged in popularity in recent years.

1. Easy to Learn, Fun to Play: Pickleball blends elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, creating a game that’s easy to learn and fun to play for people of all ages, skill levels, and athletic backgrounds. Its straightforward rules make it accessible for beginners, while the strategic depth of the game keeps seasoned players engaged and challenged.
2. Exercise and Health Benefits: Pickleball offers a fantastic workout. It enhances agility, cardiovascular health, and overall fitness. Although pickleball is a fast-paced sport, its low-impact nature makes it a good fit for beginners, individuals who are recovering from injuries, or people with limited mobility.
3. Social Engagement: Pickleball is as much about community as it is about competition. It’s a fantastic opportunity to meet new people, build camaraderie, spend quality time bonding with loved ones, and enjoy some friendly competition.  
4. Affordable and Accessible: With minimal equipment required and increasing numbers of courts, pickleball is a low barrier to entry activity. Many local communities provide pickle ball courts at parks and recreational centres, and borrowing a kit from the library makes it even easier to get started. 

Whether you’re looking for a new hobby, a way to stay active, or a chance to meet new people, pickleball offers something for everyone!

Funding for the Pickleball kits was provided by Nova Scotia Health Community Health Boards Eastern Zone members: East Cape Breton County Community Health Board, Northside the Lakes Community Health Board, and Central Cape Breton County Community Health Board.

Have you heard about disc golf? It’s a fun, low-impact way for people of all ages and abilities to get active and enjoy the outdoors!

Each set includes 3 flying discs and can be borrowed for 3 weeks.

Disc golf is an sport in which participants throw flying discs into an above-ground target. It is played using similar rules to golf, but instead of swinging a club to hit a ball, players throw a disc from a designated tee area. Like golf, it shares the objective of completing each hole in the fewest strokes (or in the case of disc golf, fewest throws). The sport incorporates the ABCs of movement, encouraging participants to exercise agility, balance, and coordination as they move through the course.

Disc golf is one of the fastest-growing sports worldwide. The first local course was established by the CBRM Recreation Department in 2017, in Sydney’s Rotary Park. Since then, the popularity of disc golf has grown steadily in the CBRM, and there is now an additional course was added at the Colliery Lands Park in New Waterford. Both courses are free for the public to play, with each being on bus routes.

Disc golf sets were donated by the Cape Breton Regional Municipality (CBRM) Recreation Department and Victoria County Recreation.

BEANS

Beans:

Beans are high in fibre, iron and essential minerals and form a complete protein when eaten with
grains. Easy to grow, beans also benefit your garden by converting nitrogen from the air into a form
usable by plants.

Growing Tips: Plant beans in well-drained soil after all danger of frost has passed. Sow seeds 2.5cm (1″) deep, 4 cm (1 ½”) apart, in rows 50cm (20″) apart. For a continual harvest of fresh beans, plant new rows every 10 days until mid-July. An application of Garden Legume Inoculant will offer increased yields. Avoid contact with bean plants when they are damp to prevent the spread of fungal diseases (Halifax Seed, 2021).

Pencil Pod Black Wax Bean (Heritage)

This yellow variety produces excellent quality beans that are 15cm (6″) long, round to semi-round, slightly curved, fleshy and golden yellow. The busy plants reach 45-53cm (18-21″) in height and bear a tender bean that is delicious fresh or frozen.

Improved Tendergreen Bean

High-yielding plants produce 15cm (6″) long, round, dark green beans that are tender and stringless. Resistant to Bean Mosaic Virus, this variety is delicious fresh, frozen or canned.

COMPANION FLOWERS

Borage (edible & attracts pollinators)

Borage is an easy to grow annual with large fuzzy leaves that have a cucumber flavour. The blue flowers can be used to add colour and taste to drinks and salads. Borage deters hornworm and cabbage worms, and is particularly useful planted near tomatoes and strawberries. Plant directly in ground after last frost. Seed depth 0.5-1cm (¼”-½”).

Nasturtium Jewel Double Mix (Heritage, edible)

Foliage and flowers are edible and often tossed in salads to add a peppery flavour. A natural companion in the vegetable garden, nasturtiums trap and discourage harmful insects. Jewel Dwarf Double Mix has a mounding growth habit that produces masses of brightly coloured orange and yellow double blooms.

Seed Source: Halifax Seed; Photo Credit: Halifax Seed

CUCUMBERS

Cucumber: Cucumbers thrive in warm humid weather. Their cool and juicy fruit is extremely refreshing and may be enjoyed sliced fresh, tossed in salads or preserved as pickles. As cucumbers mature relatively quickly, they are an ideal crop for cool gardens.
Growing Tips: Sow seeds indoors in peat pots and set out in sunny location when all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed to 18 to 21°C (65 to 70°F). To prevent transplant shock do not disturb the roots when transplanting. A layer of landscape fabric around the roots will encourage larger yields by suppressing weed growth and conserving soil heat and moisture. If seeding directly outdoors, sow seeds 4 cm (1 ½”-2”) apart, planting them about 0.5 to 1cm (¼” – ½”) deep. In small gardens conserve space by growing cucumbers vertically on a trellis (Halifax Seed, 2021).

Wisconsin SMR-58 Cucumber (Pickling)

A popular pickling cucumber, Wisconsin SMR-58 produces a profusion of
15cm (6″) long and 6cm (2 ½”) wide fruits and are medium green, crisp and
straight. Naturally resistant to Cucumber Scab, Black Spot and are Mosaic
resistant.

Seed Source: Halifax Seed; Photo Credit: Halifax Seed

Straight 8 Cucumber (Slicing)

Produces a bounty of dark green 18-20cm (7-8″) long cucumbers that are tolerant to Cucumber Mosaic Virus. Trellis support an option.

LETTUCE

Lettuce: Lettuce is one of the easiest vegetables to grow and does exceptionally well in our cool Maritime climate! To enjoy garden fresh salads from late spring to the end of autumn, plant several varieties and continue to sow seed every few weeks.

Growing Tips: Lettuce is very hardy and may be planted as soon as the ground can be worked in early spring. Seed may also be sown indoors 4 to 5 weeks prior to planting. If direct seeding, sow seeds about 2cm (1”) apart, 3-5mm (1/8”– ¼”) deep, spacing the rows 30-45cm (12-28”) apart (Halifax Seed, 2021).

Parris Island Cos Lettuce (Heritage)

Popular dark green strain of Cos lettuce (Romaine type). 25-30cm (10-12”) heads of slightly savoyed, dark green leaves with creamy white hearts. Popular for baby leaf. Best for spring and fall growing. Tolerant to tip-burn and mosaic, medium resistance to bolting. 66-70 days.

Seed Source: Halifax Seed; Photo Credit: Halifax Seed

Grand Rapids Leaf Lettuce

A popular variety for early outdoor planting, or cold frames with medium-green, curly leaves and good taste. For spring and fall culture. Tip-burn resistant. 45 days.

Seed Source: William Dam Seeds; Photo Credit: Wikimedia Commons

PEAS

Peas: Peas have a high protein content and are a significant source of Vitamins.

Growing Tips: A cool weather crop that should be planted in early spring as soon as the garden has thawed and the soil is workable. Sow seeds 1-2cm (½”-1)” apart in 10-15cm (4-6”) wide double rows that are spaced 60cm (24”) apart. Place a support trellis between the rows and do not thin the emerging seedlings. Fertilize at planting time with a fertilizer high in phosphorous and potassium (Halifax Seed, 2021).

Sugar Ann

Edible pod, bush type. One of the sweetest tasting peas! Sugar Ann is an early bush type that does not require staking. A great choice for smaller gardens or large containers. Enjoy edible pods shelled or whole. Perfect for freezing. Sugar Ann produces 2” pods on strong 24” plants. Direct sow in early spring, Full—Part sun. 56 days.
Seed Source: Halifax Seed; Photo Credit: Halifax Seed

Grey Sugar Dwarf Snow Pea (Heritage)

Edible pod, Climbing type. This old-time favourite edible-pod snow pea has purple flowers. Though called Dwarf, the vines grow 5-6’ tall, so will definitely need support (fence or trellis). They produce 6-7cm (2 ½”-3″) flat pods that are pale green, sweet and stringless. Tasty fresh, sauteed or frozen. Direct sow May—June, Full—Part sun. 60 days.
Seed Source: Halifax Seed; Photo Credit: Halifax Seed

RADISH

Radish: Radishes are a fast-growing cool weather crop with brightly coloured roots packed with iron and potassium. As they are so quick to grow, radishes are often used in the garden as a row marker for slower germinating crops.
Growing Tips: Sow seed directly outside as soon as the soil can be worked in early spring. For a continual harvest, re-seed every 7 to 10 days throughout the growing season, planting seeds about 2cm (1”) apart, 6 mm (¼”) deep in rows spaced 30cm (12”) apart. Thin the seedlings to 4cm (1.5”) (Halifax Seed, 2021).

Cherry Belle Radish (Heritage)

One of the most popular radish varieties. Excels in early spring and fall and is good for cold frame growing. The globe to round-shaped roots have scarlet red skin and tasty white flesh. The tops grow 8cm (3″) tall. Direct sow periodically all season for continued harvest. Full – Part sun, 21-26 days.
Seed Source: Halifax Seed; Photo Credit: Halifax Seed

Spinach

A hardy crop, spinach thrives in the cool weather of spring and autumn. Spinach is an excellent source of Vitamins A and C, iron, potassium, protein and dietary fiber.

Growing tips: Spinach germinates best in cool soil. Plant the seed as soon as the ground can be worked in early spring. A soil pH of 6.5 to 7.4 is ideal. Fall crops may be seeded in late July through August. Plant seeds 2cm (1”) apart, 6mm (¼”) deep in rows spaced 30-45cm (12-18”) apart. Once the seedlings have emerged, thin them to 8cm (3”). Harvest spinach early as plants will bolt (Halifax Seed, 2025).

Black Beauty Zucchini (Heritage)

Bloomsdale Long Standing Spinach
This heavy yielder boasts glossy dark green leaves that are slightly
crumpled and stand up very well in hot weather. Direct sow in Full sun.
Suitable for containers. 50 days.

SQUASH & ZUCCHINI

Squash: There are two main types of squash. Summer squash grow on bush vines, have thin tender skin and are best eaten when still immature. They can be enjoyed in many ways, such as stir-fried, sautéed or barbecued. Winter squash grow on vigorous vines and are left on the plants to mature. Their skins are thick, hard and inedible, but allow them to be stored for long periods of time.
Growing Tips: Zucchini are big, fast-growing plants need plenty of moisture and lots of food. Grow them in rich, well-drained soil in full sun. One well-grown plant will provide enough fruits for the average family.

Black Beauty Zucchini (Heritage)

The dark green fruits of this versatile, delicious summer squash are borne on open bush-type plants, making them very easy to harvest. Flesh is light green in colour and delicately flavoured. Harvest the cylindrical fruits young for optimum tenderness.

Seed Source: Halifax Seed; Photo Credit: Halifax Seed

TOMATO

Tomatoes: Native to the Americas, the tomato is an excellent source of Vitamin C, iron and protein. In Northern gardens, it is important to grow varieties which ripen before the autumn frosts.

Growing Tips: Sow seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks prior to the last spring frost. A soil temperature around 24°C will help encourage quick germination. Ensure that seedlings receive plenty of light to prevent them from becoming tall and leggy. To harden off the plants, set them outside during the day, bringing them back indoors at night when the temperature drops. Tomatoes love rich soil, so work generous amount of well-rotted manure or compost, and some garden lime to help prevent rot, into the soil before planting. Once all risk of frost has passed, plant the transplants in containers or in the garden, deep enough to cover the base of the stem if leggy, and spacing them 60-90cm (24-36”) apart (Halifax Seed, 2021).

Red Cherry Tomato

The medium-large spreading plants of this cherry variety offer bright
scarlet cocktail tomatoes that are 3cm (1 1/2″) in size, round, firm and
very tasty. The fruits are held in large clusters, making them very easy to
pick. Requires support.

Seed Source: Halifax Seed; Photo credit: Halifax Seed

Scotia Tomato

A Maritime tradition, Scotia offers very early globe-shaped fruits that are medium-sized, smooth, firm and upon maturity turn deep red with slightly green shoulders. This dependable crop, a favourite ingredient for green tomato relish, is borne heavily on strong, determinate plants.
