Planning for Summer

Many people plan their calendar year by filling it with vacations, birthdays, and holiday events. What if you added to your calendar garden preparation, planting, and harvesting? Instead of leaving it to last minute or haphazard decisions, only to find out you are too late or too early or you can’t find the seeds or bulbs you need, put it on the calendar!

One of our goals at the MaxBit is to help you enjoy making beautiful outdoor gardening spaces using less energy and having more time to enjoy the results. Planning helps in ways that often are not recognized until the planning process is finished.

Here is a website that helps plan a vegetable garden for the year along with some interesting tips!

Not a vegetable gardener because flowers are your thing? Here is a website you will find helpful.

I can remember my grandparents’ gardens Yes, they had three gardens with a variety of vegetables in the backyard and a flower garden in the front yard. Year after year, Granny and Granddad worked the gardens and then could not move for days due to the hard work required. We would spend weeks in the summer with them, helping them pick, can, and eat from their labor months before.

The month of January can make us lazy with cold weather and colds and flu, but January is the ideal month to plan for the year. It is the preparation month for buying seeds and tools to get ready for spring. Keep in mind our garden tool, the MaxBit, that helps you plant more, faster, and much easier, allowing for more time to enjoy your work of art in the garden.

Until next time, remember that the matter of the heart is the heart of the matter!
