The Gardener's April Calendar
A lot has changed since I compiled the last list of monthly garden chores, and I hope as you are reading this that you are healthy and practicing social distancing. It is all too easy to read the headlines and become overwhelmed by pandemic news. I've had some days where anxiety and fear is all consuming and makes it hard to focus on anything.

Stay safe.
