UNTIL THE GARDEN IS READY, PURCHASE LOCAL AND ORGANIC

TIME TO PREPARE THE GARDEN

As a cook who likes to use fresh ingredients from the garden, March is the time when I get excited about getting my hands dirty. Of course March in Seattle is a guessing game. The sun will shine one day and the next temperatures will plummet leaving a dusting of snow on the garden. While waiting for the warmer weather, be sure your fruit trees are pruned and your tools are ready to go. If you like to purchase seeds now is the time and don’t forget about your soil. If you want to know what to plant this time of year, visit your local nursery to see what they have available for planting. Until your harvest is ready visit your local Farmers Market for fresh organic produce. Buy local and organic when you can and always cook with the freshest produce you can find.
