Spring Planting in Full Swing
Every gardener has got their hands into some dirt. The planting
season is a wonderful time of year. As you plant your victory garden,
just be sure to provide your young plants protection against frost, cold
weather and strong winds. Help young transplants to get their feet established
into their new home. And, enjoy watching them grow!
In Search of Seeds! Each
year, we begin our gardening season with a search for seeds for the upcoming
year. It's a lot of fun browsing seed catalogs, and surfing the internet
for a treasure trove of promising garden seeds. Whether you like to browse
through a seed catalog by the fireside, or surf online, make plans now to
find the seeds that you want to plant this spring.
Indoor Plant Starts - Starting seeds indoors to transplant later,
is one of the early joys of gardening. Why let the garden stores have all
the fun, when you can start your own seedlings!? While winter goes by, review
the basics of seed starting, and seedling care. As a rule of thumb, most
indoor starts should be planted six to eight weeks before the last frost
in your area.

You are anxiously awaiting the harvest. So are the birds, deer, rabbits,
and a vast army of other pests. Check out the Buffet Buster! It ends their
snack time...period.
Have you ever taken a soil pH test in your houseplants? Why not? Each

your houseplant's soil, often is the answer for a sick
plant.More
