This spring has proven to be a challenging time for green thumbs trying to plant their favourite vegetables, fruits and flowers. There was unseasonably cold weather, drought and now a heat wave. For many gardeners this has meant a later start to this planting season.

Do you have a neighbour who goes above and beyond to make your life or community better? It can be a grocery run, helping looking after your yard, cleaning up your street or just greeting everyone with a smile and a wave.
As long as we can see the light, we know that this pandemic will soon come to an end. Here s to those neighbours who brighten up our lives through good conversation & good deeds.
As more people go for their second dose, what governments and health officials need to work toward is essentially elimination of the virus, spare the occasional outbreak, Jason Tetro, a microbiologist and author of the Germ Files, told Saskatchewan Weekend host Shauna Powers.
Saskatchewan Weekend s Shauna Powers about the third wave currently hitting the province. It s pretty simple and it s hard to say this but because of the variants, we needed to reduce our contact by an additional 10 to 15 per cent over what we re doing in previous lockdowns, said Tetro. But because of the vaccines, we apparently added 10 to 15 percent of our contacts thinking everything is going to be fine. That 30 per cent divergence has led to the basically that explosion of growth that we ve been seeing, especially in urban areas, said Tetro. And we all know what s going on in Regina.
On Saturday alone, Saskatchewan added 262 more cases of COVID-19, three more deaths and indicated a total of 6,999 cases of variants of concern had been identified in the province as of April 30.
Saskatchewan has said it wants to provide a first vaccine dose to everyone who wants one by mid-May. It will need to pick up the pace to meet that target.
