We put together a list of things to consider to make the transition from snow to sow to grow as easy as possible and help you prepare your garden- and yourself- for Spring veggies.
Make a list of vegetables you want to plant. Jot down any that come to mind, remember to include specific varieties you liked from the year before. Want to be extra prepared? Write them down in the order they will need to be planted! This will make it even easier to ensure you're getting everything in the ground on time.
