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

“Hi, I love the What to Plant for my zone each month. Also, tips on hard-to-grow, not-so-easy veggies and herbs (I am so trying celery this season!). Also love any videos like what Amanda offers! Thank you!”

“It was an enjoyable magazine to read this month. A lot of information on seeds, shrubs, and planting fennel. I love it when there are new ideas and also old ones I forgot about. The best is selecting seeds for a successful season of gardening.

Some tips from our community:

On choosing watering cans: “I use a clear orange juice jug. It holds about 3-4 L of water, has a sturdy handle and a nice little spout for easy pouring. Kids can SEE the water and can tell where it’s going and how hard to pour.” – Ruth

On bird deterrents: “For seeds I use recycled plastic nursery flats to keep the birds from getting them while they get started. I also use them in the bare areas around larger plants to deter cats & squirrels.” – Napa
