There are many days to celebrate our hobby. Among them:
Spring arrives this month. As it does, warm weather marches steadily north. Avid gardeners head outdoors to plant early-season vegetable crops and perhaps a few flowers and herbs, too. If you haven't acquired the seed you need, what are you waiting for!?
Tip: Make your 2025 gardening season special. Select some plants to grow that you've never grown before.
Start Your Seed Search
Sometime in the next few weeks, tulips will begin to poke their heads out of the soil. There's not much to do but enjoy their blooms. You put the work in during the Fall when you prepared the flowerbed and planted the bulbs.
Watch for them to emerge from the soil. Then, a light layer of mulch around the plants will help keep the weeds down and make the tulip bed look spectacular.
Gardeners know a secret. The most flavorful herbs are those that come right out of the garden. Your herbs begin to awaken as the spring weather warms the soil. Many herbs are perennials. Among the earliest to emerge and grow is chives. Parsley will awaken early, too. For other herbs, get an early start. Plant some indoors to transplant in the garden. You'll be glad that you did!
Garden Tip: For the most intense flavor, pick herbs in the morning before the sun has dried the oils in them.

Did you save seeds from last year's garden? Or, perhaps you have leftover seeds that you purchased last year. As you await the arrival of warm spring weather, now is the perfect time to test their viability. It is vital to make certain they will sprout when you plant them this spring.
How to Perform a Seed Germination Test
When you see your neighbor has a raised bed garden, you should be thinking "Now, there's a smart gardener!" It's neat and attractive. That's for sure. But, a raised bed garden has many benefits when growing flowers, vegetable, and herbs. This is especially true in the spring. A raised bed allows the sun to warm the soil faster. That means you can plant earlier! And very importantly, excessive heavy spring rains easily drain out the bottom.
