Spring Gardening Resources

If you haven't gotten the gardening bug yet this year, it's just around the corner! I am chomping at the bit for it to get warm enough to get out and get in the dirt, and now that it's April, I know it has to be coming soon! I am getting ready to add last summer's compost to the garden, turn it in, and cover it with black plastic for a couple of weeks to try and warm up our cold soil a bit early this season.

Here a couple of spring gardening resources. If you are a new gardener, this is a great time to check out a garden workshop. The one linked below is in California, but many areas have free garden workshops through a community center or other venue. Check out your local paper or community center classes for a listing.
