It is finally spring and gardeners are itching to start planting. Here are some tips to help get you ready for gardening.
DENVER — As spring begins and the feel of earth between our fingers beckons, prepare for planting. Take stock of your tools and supplies.supplies, such a trays, pots, plastic domes, labels and potting soil or seed starting mix. Seed packets tell us when to sow. Cool season flowers and crops can be sown outside way before the last frost-free date, which is generally around May 10 along the Front Range. Many seeds germinate best during cool weather.
Warm-season flowers and crops need a head start indoors. If a seed packet instructs to sow the seeds six to eight weeks before that date, count back from May 10 and you can see we'd better get busy. Select a bright, warm place not in direct sun. The moment the seeds germinate, move them to a sunny position or under grow lights.
