Well February is almost gone and I have not even got started on the spring gardening chores. Why am I concerned with the garden so early, because when march comes things can get real busy trying to get it all together.

There is lots to go ahead and get done.

• Lay out a garden plan
• Check seed inventory and order seeds
• Get prepared to start seeds indoors
• Check tools and other equipment including irrigation system for good working condition
• Think about improving garden by adding a simple and efficient drip irrigation system or adding a raised bed
• Check progress of compost bins and worm bins manage them so that you have good compost for spring
• Woody plants such as apple trees, grape vines, and rose bushes need to be pruned
• Have fun and get excited about the coming of spring!
