Garden Update: April 2018

Welcome back!  How time has flown while our society board worked through all the paperwork and red tape that must be done before building begins.  The final paperwork is sitting on our city engineer’s desk, waiting for one final small change on our insurance policy.  As soon as all the i’s are dotted and t’s crossed, we are set to go!!
Have you thought about what you would like to plant in your garden plot?  As most seasoned gardeners know, this is the time to start seedlings indoors.  All you need is a warm space with lots of light, and some good seedling soil (available almost everywhere at this time of year), and you are good to go!  Here are some easy suggestions for first-timers:

  • Peppers
  • Tomatoes
  • Onions
  • Zucchini

The Old Farmer’s Almanac has a great how-to for starting seeds.   https://www.almanac.com/content/starting-seeds-indoors
