Gardening Seasons

Springtime is a busy season in the garden; this is the season of rebirth, a time of the year with many tasks to accomplish before you can start planting this year’s garden.

Summer is the time of production, your job at this time is to keep your plants and flowers looking their best; it is the time of enjoying the results of your earlier tasks.

Fall is still a very important season in the garden. Cooler temperatures make garden chores easier on you and on your plants. Fall is a great time to plant, prune and clean-up the garden.

For most of us, the winter season will probably find you working with houseplants, seed starting and planning for your next year’s garden

Happy gardening!



Summer Garden

You love your summer garden and would just love to extend its season. Whether your garden to produce colorful blooms and fragrant flowers that delight the senses or provide you with plenty of vegetables that will keep your family fed throughout the long cold winter months, there is much to be said and enjoyed about keeping a summer garden growing and thriving.

Fall vegetables are often considered the poor family of our gardens. Many gardeners do not even consider them because of the winter frosts that might make an early appearance. On the contrary, fall gardening will extend crops long after spring planted plants are finished. Vegetables produced late in the season are sometimes sweeter and milder than those grown in the summer and offer a brand new taste to the same old veggies.

Keep your summer garden looking crisp and green as long as possible by taking a few extra steps a little earlier in the summer months. You will then profit by a few more weeks of extra growth and productivity with more flowers, more fruit, and more vegetables.
