Kittens preventing posts

Okay, sorry that I haven't posted lately....new kittens, Strider and Brego have been taking up my time.
But today I had to pass on this great website: www.sproutrobot.com Just enter your zipcode and you get a customized chart of what to plant and when to do it. It is too cool! I have a new playyard coming today for the kittens and then hopefully I can get back to gardening! The weather is getting warmer and I'm dying to get out to the garden. Welcome March! Lots to do this month: March: Plant cool season vegetables. Start warm season vegetable seeds for later transplanting (tomatoes and peppers). Plan for flower bed to provide summer color. Start summer flower seeds in flats. Dig and divide perennial flowers. Plant blueberries, strawberries and grapes. Mulch strawberries with pine straw as soon as they start blooming. Prune brambles to shoulder height and mulch. For a fuller list go to The Farmer's almanac Gardening Section
