Many plants, including summer annuals and vegetables, are showing up for sale at garden centers. If you have planted some of these, keep your old sheets handy for cold snaps that we inevitably have in March, April, and sometimes the beginning of May.
While spring gardening we should also start thinking about fall. I love this time of the year because of the spring bulbs that send their shoots and flowers up to signal that winter is nearly over.
As you plan and buy plants for spring planting, consider microclimates which can broaden your plant choice as well as protect plants.

Although we have just passed our average last freeze date, the warm winter and good weather we have been having has been enticing us to buy and plant. I am as big an impulse buyer of plants as anyone so the thoughts I am about to express are sometimes practiced and sometimes not.
As you shop for plants this year, think about those that attract various birds and other critters that are friendly to plants from the standpoint of eating pests that prey on plants.
No, it’s not fall yet, but it will be here sooner than you think and now is the time to prepare for it. Fall is an ideal time to plant many things to get a head start on next year's growing season.
