We're still under a blanket of snow but it's time to think about your Spring garden. I brought my potted geranium in last fall, placed it in a north window, watering infrequently. It is blooming beautiful red clusters--what  a nice break from all this white!

The farmers almanac suggests starting bulbs/tubers (like begonias) now. plant in pots so they will be ready to put out around Mother's Day. Use fresh soil as they will grow better. Water to keep soil moist (use fertilizer sparingly as you will water frequently).

March 16-19 is a good time to plant root crops (assuming we can see the earth  under all this snow) , otherwise, wait until April 12-14. Easter weekend is a good time for seed planting so you can transfer outside in early May.

Unfertile periods are February 29-March 6,   March 14& 15,  March 28-April 3

Happy Winter    Trina
