MIDDLETOWN, NJ - The other day, as I ate my lunch, I happened to be watching one of the shopping channels, when they began their Spring Gardening Sale. “Wow,” I thought, “Isn’t it a bit early for this?”
You know, March is a guessing game in the garden. Will it warm up soon? Will it stay warm? Will the rains start or stop any time soon? About the only thing we can count on is that March too shall pass. But we still must be ready because if Mother Nature does smile upon us, we will put our “sloggers” on and venture into the garden to begin the various chores that should be done in March. By the way, I purchased a pair of “sloggers” that day. They are waterproof shoes that can be hosed off after a day’s work in the garden—perfect!
