Groundhog Day: Is spring coming early?
width=”425″ height=”282″ /> Sorry, Punxsutawney Phil did see his shadow so six more weeks of winter. Though for those of you with a blanket of snow on the ground and more coming this is probably not hard to believe. Just for the record Punxsutawney Phil is only right 39 percent of the time so probably best to not put too much of your seed planning on his prediction. Keeping fingers…

Congratulations to you, Ashley!
Thank you. I found out that I won after a very stressful day. It really turned my day around.
Hi! I would like to encourage people to use non-chemical fertilizers and insecticides. Insecticides are poison- they kill the beneficial insects (and birds and get into the water supply…etc) that help the soil and plants stay healthy . I make a recipe from Howard Garrett’s book, which includes molasses, seaweed fertilizer, and garlic to deter unwanted insects.
Study shows (on a pro-organic site) that organic pesticides also kill the good bugs too! (ladybugs, bees, etc.)
