Weird weather we are having, huh? Well, by now you should have some stuff in the ground just about anywhere in the country. Snow, rain, cold temperatures, we've got it all in the middle of April. Don't forget about the "babies" outside.
If you are getting lots of snow, don't be afraid to add some mulch to the top of the soil or around the seedlings, if necessary. Use something biodegradable like shredded newspaper or straw and you can add it to your compost later if need be.
If you are getting a lot of rain in a short bit of time, don't forget to adjust your watering schedule. If it is automatic, shut it down for a day or two. If you have help (the kids) give them a day or two off. Just remember to turn it back on later.
Watch for your seedlings to appear soon. Waterlogged soil can rot some seeds. If you don't get something coming up in a few weeks of planting, you might want to re-plant some of the seed just to be on the safe side.
Keep it going, people. If you don't grow it, who will?
