New rainfall amounts less than a tenth of an inch possible | | | | Vermont Home Gardener It's Time for Spring Planting (zone 4-5) Sunny, warmer days plus some welcome rain make the garden real in May. While there are many garden plants that can be seeded outdoors now, don't be tempted to start working your soil if it is still too wet. If you insist on tilling your garden it is very important to wait until the soil has drained and dried enough to be crumbly, not gooey or sticky. Tilling or turning wet soil makes it become more compact, denser, and destroys the natural structure. I do not till my garden soil at all because tilling is very damaging to soil & really unnecessary. If you have raised beds (see previous blog article) you can get started sooner because of better drainage, warmer soils & no tilling is needed. A very helpful reference is the High Mowing Seeds Planting Chart available online that gives detailed information about how, how much, and when to plant a long list of herbs and vegetables. The same table appears in their published seed catalog. Get the details on seed planting and transplanting in the full article at https://vermonthomegardener.com/. | | | | | Pierce's Store Long-Term Planning Meeting at the Shrewsbury Meeting House, Thursday May 23rd at 6:30.
