Hello Great Gardener,

Spring is less than 25 days away and we are starting to gear up here at the store. Shipments of trees, shrubs, fruits and houseplants will be coming in over the next month (depending on weather).
As always, if you have any questions, comments or suggestions, hit reply. I would love to hear from you. Have a great-gardening day.


Sincerely,
Holly

Starting Tomatoes: Types, When To Start Them, Fertilizing & Watering
"Squeeze" Before You Dig
Image
Many gardeners are getting that itch to get out the tiller and work up their garden soil. But many areas are still soggy from snow melt and rain, making soils too wet to work.

It really is best for your garden’s long-term health to resist the urge to work the soil when it is still wet. Whether you use a tiller, plow or just a garden spade, working wet soil can badly compact soil, and the negative effects will last for many years.

To determine whether your garden's soil is dry enough to work, use the "squeeze" test.

With a spade, turn over a slice of soil about 6 inches deep. Pick up a handful of soil and squeeze it. If the ball crumbles, your timing is perfect. Grab a glass of lemonade and your spade and get to work. If the ball sticks together in a muddy ball (like picture above), wait a few days and check again.

In the mean time, you can start seeds indoors now and plan for your future garden.
