Q. \u00a0When should I do a soil test on my garden soil?<\/p>\n

A. \u00a0Now. \u00a0 It will take 2-3 weeks to get the results back from a lab (end of December). \u00a0 If you want to start a spring garden, you’ll be starting to plant some veggies before the end of January. \u00a0 Some of the organic soil amendments you might want to use need to be incorporated about a month before planting. \u00a0Do the math.<\/p>\n

Q. \u00a0When should I plan my garden and order seeds, etc.?<\/p>\n

A. \u00a0Now. \u00a0You need to plant most seeds 2-3 months before you hope to harvest. \u00a0 Want spring greens and cool weather veggies starting in March? \u00a0Do the math.<\/p>\n

Q. \u00a0What happened to winter down-time from the garden?<\/p>\n

A. \u00a0Folks who have that\u00a0aren’t blessed with living in East Texas.<\/p>\n

However, during colder months, we at least don’t need to start our garden days quite so early. \u00a0So it’s a little easier to make time for coffee and friends.<\/p>\n

Speaking of which, I’ll be taking my garden planning (and dreaming) down to the coffee shop at Athens Organic Supply on Hwy 31 E on Tuesday mornings about 9:00 AM for the next few weeks. \u00a0 \u00a0 I hope you’ll come join me for a cup and a chat. \u00a0We can talk about…. gardens! (Yours, mine or the ones we dream about) \u00a0Or anything else we choose.<\/p>\n

Friends do that sometimes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
