The Year of the Garden
Saturday, May 16th, 2009
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh you just have to love a GREAT WEEKEND…………….. Warm weather, lots os sunshine, and the garden is ready to plant.
As I have mentioned many times since the start of the year………. this is…………. “The Year of the Garden”. There is not a day goes by that at least one person tells me that they are going to try a vegetable garden this year. Some have done so in the past but have let the practice slice, and then there are those that have never gardened in their lives. I find this so exciting not just because I own a garden center but that I realy beleive gardening is a VERY imortant part of a good and solid lifestyle………..
If you have not yet visited my blog at coldzonegardening.com you may want to click and go………….. I try to give seasonal information on gardening in relationship to cold climate gardens and landscapes. Topics on trees, shrubs, perennials, bulbs, and products are continualy entered as time permits. I hope you find it useful.
Meanwhile back in the garden the tomato seems to be capturing the lions share of attention. From the topsy turvy to the historic heirlooms it seems just about everyone is trying to grow their own. Herbs are also a very hot topic as so many folks are returning to the kitchen and pulling out a cook book. No matter what drives you to the garden I think it is a VERY GOOD thing………. Celebrate and enjoy the health benefits as well as the nutritional goodnes a family garden can provide…………….. Happy May and welcome to Spring…………. Doug
