Throwing eggshells in the same hole that you will be planting your vegetables in help your plants fend off “blossom end rot” which is the leading cause of calcium deficiency. Grinding the egg shells will aide in breaking down and absorbing into your garden soil.
Now is the time to start seeds for your vegetables and annuals. Start seeds of vegetables and annuals indoors 6-8 weeks before you plan to set them out. Keep in mind some seedlings are more hardy than others. Stop by today and find out when you should move your plants outdoors.
Mulch, Mulch, Mulch! Apply a 3-4" inch layer of mulch to your garden, after the soil freezes to keep the soil cold rather than protecting the soil from becoming cold. This will help reduce root injury and help against continual freezing and thawing.
