February Garden Guide
Why is February so dreary? Is it because cold-meets-wet and Northwest gardeners feel the brunt of both?
Protect tender things from freezes, paying special attention to young plants, new installations, berry bushes and pruned roses.
Start seeds from the comfort of your (green) house and home; the garden is getting ready to get growing.
