The 60-degree - from page 11
* Start small and sturdy
Now it’s time to make the exciting
first pilgrimage of the season to the garden center. Local weather forecasts can offer up some insight here since around 60 degrees is when seeds, grass and vegetable, start to germinate. Planted too early seeds have to wait for the soil to warm up and many annuals may still be at risk of frost damage. Look for hardier plants that will withstand cooler temperatures to start with. Pansies are a great way to add an instant burst of color to your planters and beds early in the season. Spring bulbs such as daffodils, tulips, and hyacinth can even be started indoors
in containers and then moved outside for a pop of color. When approaching your vegetable gardening, look to quick-growing, early-season favorites like spinach, lettuces and peas. The thermometer reaching 60 degrees
is a great indicator that it is time to get out and enjoy the great outdoors once again. If you approach the season by giving your lawn and garden the foundations needed at this time of year, you’ll have a beautiful retreat to enjoy throughout spring and into summer.
