March

Tip: Put dryer lint & left over thread outside for the birds making nests.  You can put the material on a fork & stick it in a tree branch so that the birds can pull it apart.  Thanks for the tip Charleen Cohen!

Tip: Get a head start on controlling your slugs by cleaning up your garden in early spring.  Rake away all the winter droppings of leaves & remove compost from plant crowns where slugs love to hide.  Add a light layer of new compost & some "Sluggo" (which, by the way is safe for pets & wildlife).  Thanks for the tip Linda Jewett!
