Welcome, April! We are always grateful to hear from our readers. A lot of times, you add some wonderfully helpful gardening advice, too! 

“This is a great article about the pollinators and how important they are to our world. Thank you for the recommendations.”

“Thank you, thank you!! My daughter who is also my care helper found your web sight and sent it to me. I absolutely love it. I have vast gardens around the old farmhouse sits on 3 acres.”

“I enjoy many of your articles. I wish I had time to read more.”

Some tips from our community:

Tip for bird deterrents: “I have several pieces of construction mesh I lay on top of seeds. We get Canada geese and talk about destruction! Just have to get it lifted before things get entangled.” – Diane Newman

Tip for starting seeds in rockwool: “Don’t forget to cut the plastic wrap around the rookwool square when you plant it.” – Tommy Keith
