It’s time to put action to good intentions and get out in the garden. NOW is when to add soil amendments and turn cover crops (just in case you were organized last fall…) in the areas you want to plant early spring crops. Steve Solomon’s Vegetable Gardening West of the Cascades has become a valuable tool for me since Bob and I recently erected a small greenhouse from a kit, and our new year’s resolution is to feed ourselves produce year round from the garden. I have taken as a personal challenge Steve’s comment (I’m on a first name basis with him in my head) that he judges a good vegetable gardener by whether there is something green in the garden ALL year, not just in the summertime.
