Gardening Season starts Thursday
The free seed swap table at the 2016 March meeting of the Grassroots Growers meeting, held in Erinsville last month.
We are still, this past weekend, experiencing night temperatures of -12C.. sooo still too early for gardening.
The best hope is this coming Thursday, with expected highs of +12C and lows of 0C. After that it should be double digit highs and no freezing for the next week+ after that.
So this coming weekend will be the first big push of the spring/summer season. opening up storage sheds, bringing out wheelbarrels and shovels;
Inspecting all of the tools to see how they survived the winter; hauling out the tillers and starting them up; prepping storage areas for incoming composted manure; staking out the new flower bed area, perhaps even start to dig it up as the ground should not be frozen anymore.
