Soil Test & Prep
There are little bits of color springing from the dirt here and there. This is a sure sign it is time to start prepping the garden. Yesterday, we raked off the winter mulch to relieve the pressure on the daffodils, tulips, and hyacinths. Then cleared the remnants of vegetable debris from last year’s vegetable garden and inspected the strawberry beds. This is the perfect time to make amendments to the soil. Before putting on fertilizers, manures, compost, or other soil amendments, it is a good idea to test the soil.
