Early Spring
These ensemble editions of our What's Up! and
Grow newsletters were written for Early Spring gardening.
They address what people see in Early Spring as well as what you
can be doing then to have a more beautiful, productive, easy-care
garden.
- Early spring begins as the first trees bud out (open growing
buds) and ends when the Forsythia blooms
- In Zone 5-6, across the center of North America, that's
Mid-March to Mid-April
