The arrival of spring is always frustrating, even as we rejoice the winter has released its icy grip at last. Chilly rain, gloomy skies, and zigzagging temperatures can make spring an elusive season. But it is never too early to get out into your garden (or window boxes!) and give spring a helping hand. Spring careens into summer without missing a beat, so getting to work in the garden now means the flowers and plants will reward you later!
