When to start developing your spring garden.





A lot of things on people’s minds are starting to be warmer weather and getting out of the house. This has been a harsh winter for most of the United States. Cabin fever is starting to set in, if it hasn`t already in our minds. Now would be a great time to start thinking about your spring garden and be prepared when this weather does finally change for the better. You still have some time as most of the ground hogs saw there shadow on Ground Hog Day, which means 6 more weeks of winter. I know a lot of people don`t want to hear this. But as they say, being prepared is better than not having a plan.

You may want to completely renovate that old garden or simply add some news plants to your existing garden. The decision is simply up to you, and having a decision will help when you to prepare your plan of attack. Always keep in mind how much sun hits the area or is it completely shaded during the day. Different plants adapt to different areas to help with this factor. Also doing a soil test will help to steer you in the right path of what to do to your soil for the lushest, greenest plants. You can read more on soil testing on website blog.
