Time to Garden

It seems like spring really might be on its way. Does anyone else feel like this winter was extra harsh? I think we had quite a few more snow storms than normal here in Utah. Fortunately, all the snow is gone now! With the warmer weather here I have started getting excited to plant my garden.

A few weeks ago I took some gardening classes and thought I would share some of the information on the Lavender Farm's blog. My favorite class was called Gardening by the Month. The instructor gave us a handout that listed what you should be doing in your garden each month of the year. In March it says you should prune your trees and plant hardy plants such as non-transplantable flowers, bulbs, grass, onions, peas, vegetable greens and cole crops. (He explained that cole crops are things like cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower.)

So far I have only gotten around to pruning my trees, so I still have a lot of work ahead of me. Good luck on getting your gardens started!
