Northern Gardening

emptying out the garage

21 years ago

If it hadn't been so windy this weekend (Sudbury, Ontario), I would have emptied out the garage, put my heavy pots outside, etc. Has anybody already done so? I was thinking of doing it but I didn't want people to think that I was nuts. After all, it's only the first week of April.

I'm obviously not in your zone, but SO WHAT if they think you're nuts??? They're going to have to get used to you or move, right?
Besides, anybody can understand a little spring fever from a gardener, for cryin' out loud. K.

Yes, I've lugged out a lot of my big pots. I acquired some pansies today and will be potting up my big urns in front of the house. I also take out my brugs and dahlias every day for a bit of sun, and lug them back inside for the night. Still too cold here in zone 5 Ontario (near Guelph).
