Now that we're out of our white blanket, we can put our energy into the earth.

A calendar has always helped me "stay on task", so I am offering one for you. Last week, (April 17, page 11A),the Ogden Standard Examiner had a supplement "Garden Guide". It has eight months of "tasks". In our valley, however, we will have to bundle up April and May, since I had no grass showing in April (besides, it's almost May anyway). I have started some seeds inside, and my begonias from February are doing well--lots of green, no flowers yet-- and they can be put after Mother's day, but I wait until last wknd May or first wknd June.

Also in the "Garden Guide" is a list of plant sales and education experiences. If you have the time, they all looked pretty good.

According to the Farmer's Almanac, the best times for planting are April 20-23, May 10-11, and 15-21. Unfavorable times are April 29-30, May 7-9, and 26-27 (that's Memorial Day--what a good excuse to be out playing!).

Happy gardening !
