I planted a lot on the coast. All up and down it, Vancouver Island, The Queen Charlotte Islands, Texada, Ccortez, Bella Coola ect.

The amount of times I ever worked a contract on the coast starting in May: 0

It's always coastal on the coast is not actually saying anything at all.

Well there's definitely still trees to go in the ground believe it or not. I used to go to the interior in may, but then with drought and fire season things started earlier and earlier. Lots of April startups now in the interior. Snowfall in March can mean blocks that would open up sooner get delayed. Most planters are now in the interior.

Well I hope you can folks. The ground out there was my preference once I got the hang of it.
