Spring equinox arrived around my part of the world on March 20 and we’re starting the run up to summer with really perfect weather (cool nights and mornings with sunny skies and mild daytime temps)! Now, I have to admit that doing my spring/summer garden prep work was never a source of serious intestinal “knottage” in my earlier years. In fact it was a seasonal milestone that I really looked forward to…a sort of “back to school” feeling that everything was nothing but possibilities. It’s that “starting with a clean slate” enthusiasm that inspires all of us gardeners at the start of a new growing season - new weather patterns, new plant palette. But times…oh how they have changed!
