Time to Venture Into the Garden

I happen to wonder out into the front garden today and noticed . . . things are growing!!  I always find it amazing how quickly after the change to daylight savings time that the garden seems to leap into life again.  It's getting to that time to venture out into the garden and clean up all that winter has left and start thinking about what to plant this year.  Before things get too crazy in the garden there is still time to brush up on your skills and check out the latest and greatest for your yard at many up coming events.  Here is a sampler of home, garden and food events coming up that are listed on SwankyAnts:
