Time to Plow that Field

There’s warmth in the air, and even though it’s still winter, we may only be a few weeks away from planting our gardens. So, it’s time to hitch up the horse and plow those fields. Actually, I prefer to use a tiller, which is slightly less temperamental. But whatever method you choose, get it done. You need to get the ground broken up and get any winter weeds plowed under.

Also, If you’ve got young tomato plants in peat pellets that have their true leaves, it’s getting close to the time where they need to be moved into pots with some real dirt and a touch of plant food. It’s also a good idea to get them into some real sunlight and outdoor conditions on warm days. Start with as little as 30 minutes and double it every day, avoiding any days with strong wind.
