Spring Garden Tasks

It's time to get our spring gardens going! For the risk adverse, you might wait a week or so, but for the rest of us, we're getting started. Either way, there's always a chance of a late cold snap so just be ready to protect your warm season veggies if it dips below 45. Meanwhile, this is the time to remove any cool season plants past their prime (leave the anything you're still enjoying that's going strong), add a 1- or 2-inch layer of compost, and plant your favorite spring crops like tomatoes, peppers, eggplant from transplants, and cucumbers, squash.
