At this time of year it's hard to believe that Spring is just around the corner. But before you know it, Spring will be here! Now's the time to start planting those inside seeds. Why notgive it a try this year?
We need members to grow plants - both pererinial and annual as well as veggies - for our May Plant Sale. Even if your plants don't turn out as well as you'd like, you'll have learned something about starting plants from seeds. And your fellow garden club members are here to answer questions and provide support. Contact Michele if interested and she will give you a starter kit and some seeds.
But what about sowing seeds outdoors? Depending on the plant, it is about time for some of those to go in the ground as well. As we learned in our Growing Veggies in CO presentation in March, some cold weather plants, like lettuce, can be sown directly on top of the snow for April harvest! Wouldn't that be great? I think I'll give it a try this year to see if that works out for my garden.
I look forward to hearing what you all are planning with your gardens this year!
