| Spring has arrived, which means spending time
with windows open and working in the yard. Get your lawn and garden ready with our tips... |
| Top 3 Spring Garden To–Dos |
| 1. Plan for late
frosts. Frost dates can extend into mid–May in some areas. Search online to find out the average date so you can plan accordingly. |
| Tip: Keep
materials like fabric coverings ready to help protect seedlings in the event of an unexpected frost. |
| 2. Inventory
supplies. Clean and repair garden tools. If you plan on growing tomatoes and beans, purchase cages, stakes and twine for the vines. |
| Tip:
Repurpose egg cartons as seed starters. Fill each compartment with seed starting mix and a couple seeds. Once sprouted, plant the whole carton! |
| 3. Get the soil
ready. Till and fertilize to enrich the soil for upcoming harvests. If you’ve begun seeding, begin tackling the weeding process. |
| Happy spring gardening, |
