Finally! Prime growing season has arrived, so let us play in the dirt. There are several important garden tasks to do now, while the enthusiasm is up and the weather is not blistering hot yet, to have a more abundant, lower-maintenance garden this year. One easy, very gratifying task is to bring houseplants outside so they can thrive in a shady spot. Water them until it drains out the bottom clear in order to flush the soil of any salt buildup.
Place veggies started indoors and any overwintered cuttings next to them. You will want to gradually acclimate these to the sun. Start by putting them in the dappled sun for two hours, then extend the time gradually until they are out in full sun and ready for transplant.
