Prepare your young plants for the garden
Each week I keep thinking there is going to be less snow and more green ground to show me the promise of spring. Then I come back to reality and understand that we are only halfway through April at this point. Last year we were spoiled with a year without much of a winter, the little snow we did get was soon gone and we had summer-like temperatures that got me started in the yard early.

Rare plants can provide a challenge
As an avid gardener, I always keep my eye out for the new and unusual. There is a great fascination with something that is different that nobody else seems to have. It is not just the rarity of the particular plant, but it is also a great opportunity to learn about and try something new and exciting. The most recent of these oddities that I have been growing is one of the Amorphophallus species. There are more than 200 different types of this species and they belong to the Arum family.

Pussy willows show the first signs of spring
Every year when spring comes along, I am met with wonderful memories of the past. One of those memories is when I was in college and getting that March phone call from a friend of mine who was in her late 70s at the time. She would call and ask when I could pick her up to go to Minnesota and harvest pussy willow branches along the ponds. Like clockwork, she knew when they would be in their prime.

Prepare for the Easter Bunny
The Easter holiday is upon us once again and along with it comes candy for the kids and the images of the Easter Bunny delivering baskets of colored eggs. All are symbols of spring as the rabbit is symbolic of rebirth and innocence. For early Christians, the eggs represented new beginnings as it is said they resemble the stone that covered the tomb of Christ. Just as a chick emerges from an egg, it also represented the rising of Christ from the tomb after his death. The colors represent the spring season in which Easter occurs.

Crocus can pack a punch for spring season
Spring officially arrived here this past week and many of us ran to the window to see if the recent storms were just a dream. Unfortunately, they were a reality along with the feet and feet of snow that still blanket the landscape. It seems like it will take forever for the snow to leave and allow us to begin the new season. Surprisingly, when the temperatures turn, it will only be a matter of days when most of the snow will melt away to allow the plants to begin to spring forth.

The color green has meaning throughout the year
The luck of the Irish, the appearance of the elusive leprechauns and the charm of the four-leaf clovers, are all part of St. Patrick’s Day. What is it about this day that makes it so special? Do you have to be Irish to enjoy it or is it more of a universal celebration?

Indoor blooming plants are always in demand
Whenever I visit with people about plants, whether they are for the outdoors or indoors, I always get a similar question: “Are they easy to grow?” It is a very good question in most cases as people want things that are hardy, tolerant and don’t take a lot of effort. Unfortunately, most situations are not like that and most require some degree of care and time. However, there are also plants that seem to thrive upon neglect and continue to do well regardless of their surroundings.

Warmer get-a-ways may be in your neighborhood
As the end of February approaches, people begin to think about going someplace warmer for a break. With the recent cold snaps we have had in the region, many people are planning their late winter get-a-ways quickly. College students are planning their spring breaks, not only to get away from school, but also to be someplace warmer.
