Good morning,

Spring is a great time to divide perennials that have become overcrowded. Share the extras with friends or neighbors!

CHERRY PICKED - JUST FOR YOU

Are you worried that you don’t have enough space to grow your own fruits and veggies? Don’t let those fears hold you back! All you need is a bit of creativity to use your space to its fullest potential.

BITE-SIZED GARDEN TALES

Rain lashed against the windowpane, a persistent drumbeat that mirrored Amelia's mood. Seedlings, carefully nurtured indoors, seemed to wilt under the gloomy skies.

Disappointment gnawed at her. Maybe waiting for ideal weather to transplant them was a mistake.

Just then, a flash of movement outside caught her eye. A lone robin, its chest puffed out in a defiant display, perched on a nearby branch.

Rain dripped from its feathers, yet its song rang out clear and strong. The little bird wasn't waiting for sunshine to sing its heart out – it was celebrating the season, embracing the elements with unwavering spirit.

A smile tugged at Amelia's lips. The weather might not be perfect, but her seedlings were strong and ready. Inspired by the robin's unwavering song, Amelia grabbed her raincoat and gardening tools.

With a newfound determination, she'd prepare the garden beds, taking extra care to shield the young plants from the downpour. Every step, even amidst the rain, was a step closer to a flourishing harvest.

IN A NUTSHELL

Don't let setbacks dampen your gardening spirit. Be the robin – embrace the elements, celebrate the season, and keep moving forward with unwavering determination.

DIGGING DEEPER

Having the option to grow plants indoors is perfect for those of us who simply don’t have adequate outdoor space, but it doesn’t come without its challenges. One hurdle you might not have considered is pollination for certain fruits and veggies, like tomatoes and cucumbers. Thankfully, pollinating your indoor plants is easier than you think!
