Spring Is Under A Month Away in Montana. Ready To Garden?

Gardening Memories

We would talk about what she had planned to plant each year, and then she would go on about how much fresh food I would get to enjoy when I visited (I visited every summer, for the entire summer, for 14 or so years).

It's a great memory, and a life-long reminder in Spring to start thinking about a garden. Though, if you aren't already a "green thumb" (or you are like me, and can manage to kill a plastic plant from Walmart), you might be looking for a little help getting your garden going.
