The Suns Out Its Time to Garden!

Dust off the rake and shovel and pull out your overalls, spring is right around the corner and its time to start planning your garden!
We are in Zone 5-7 for hardiness
Now is the time to:
       Soak peas and plant them in two weeks
       Spray Fruit trees with dormant spray and think about pruning in the next couple weeks
       Start Soil preparation by mulching in garden areas you plan to sow
       Start seeds indoors if you are planning to grow your own and transplant them outside
       Look for early spring plants at garden centers like raspberries, strawberries and rhubarb
       Repair tools, sand handles of wooden tools, make a garden plan
      
 Here are some helpful and fun links about gardening:
