We spent the past weekend yanking weeds, trimming the edges, spreading mulch, and sprucing up our front yard landscaping. In place of wood chips, we buy leaf compost from our township. It has been a problem area ever since we re-did our landscaping in 2007. While plants in other areas of the landscape have flourished.

Last year, I chronicled my box garden conversion from random planting to the more calculated method, known as Square Foot Gardening.

Whether you are a novice gardener or a master gardener, there are many free or low cost gardening seminars, workshops, and events happening at this time of year. You'll walk away with great information about this year's gardening trends, gardening techniques, and maybe even a plant or two. I chose broccoli.

We spent Easter weekend sprucing up our front and back yard landscaping. We spent this past weekend, cleaning up my square foot garden. As you can see, it needed some attention: Some of the 'weeds' in the picuture is the mint that I naively planted 10 years ago when we built my garden box. Have you opened up your garden yet?
