Mother Nature should be delivering some more Spring-like weather later this week, so you best start making plans to get outdoors and enjoy it right now!
As a parent with young kids, I know this is the time of year when stir-craziness kicks into high gear...
We've all been chomping at the bit to get outdoors and have some fun. My kids have literally been begging to put their gloves on to dig in the dirt for weeks now, (which is something they have never asked to do before, so I am assuming that is just how starved they are for outdoor fun)...
Summer is a great time for gardens, all those fresh veggies.
The Northwest Community Center in Rockford is using this time to cultivate future gardeners with it's youth.
This spring I took on the challenge of putting my used coffee grounds on my hydrangea bushes.
Here's the video result of wondering "Does this really work?".
If you enjoy fresh corn and those super juicy tomatoes at the farmers markets and roadside stands, be prepared to be waiting longer for them appear this summer.
