Wet Spring

80 degrees one weekend and snow the next. That's Madison in the spring. With all the rain we've been getting, it's been hard to find time to get out and begin preparing the gardens for planting. Today offered a brief window of opportunity to get eh ground loosened up, but with snow in the forecast again tonight...it seems wise to maybe let things stay a bit longer.

Here's hoping for a drier week!

Marking Off Plots

 
 


Despite it being a cool Saturday morning, the Prairie Hills gardeners were out to mark off the plots for the 2011 growing season. Plots are now measured and marked off with white twine and you can now find your plot. If you don't know where your plot is, you can find a map of the garden located on the bulletin board or you can ask any gardener you see out working for help in locating your plot.
