Tips from a Master Gardener

One of the ladies in my acquatics class is a master gardener, and she passed along a couple of gardening tips for the spring.

1. Don't put down weed killer until the forsythia blooms, as it does no good before then - a waste of time, energy, and money.

2. When you're raking up the leaves that have collected from the winter, don't put them in your compost pile or on your gardening plot, as they may contain mold. Put them in your recycling bags and get them off your property!
