On the Home and Garden Show with Vance Co. Cooperative Ext.

  • Clean and till up vegetable beds and add compost to the beds to increase organic matter.
  • Plant cool season crops.
  • When growing seeds indoors check the media before watering. If the media has moisture check the next day before watering.
  • Get ready to start seed for many warm season crops. I suggest sowing indoors about 4 to 6 weeks before you plan to plant outdoors.
  • On warm days 70F or warmer provide ventilation in greenhouses and cold frames if growing plants in them.
  • Add dill and fennel to your garden to support swallowtail butterflies.
  • We have excellent gardening publications at Cooperative Extension
  • Don’t spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on a garden or landscape project without first spending $4 for a soil analysis.
  • Always check moisture level of garden soil before tilling that soil
