think spring

It may be cold outside, but now is the time to begin preparing to grow your own fruits and vegetables. When selecting a site for your gardens, keep these requirements in mind: All vegetables need at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. Eight to 10 hours each day is ideal. The soil should be fertile and easy to work. Improve the texture by adding organic compost material. Container gardening is ideal if you have space or soil limitations. Gardens need at least 1 inch of water per week, including rainfall. To learn more about home gardening, attend a free in-store clinic each Saturday from 10:15 to 10:45 a.m. at all Calloway’s Nursery locations. Check the HHNA calendar for details.
