It’s been years since I had really clean windows on my car on a regular basis. For me, clean car windows went out when self serve gas stations became the norm. Watching a service station attendant carefully clean the windshield while he or she pumped gas is a luxury I miss. However, not only have most full serve gas stations been replaced by self serve, but unfortunately, many rural ones have disappeared altogether.
Some things never change. One of them is the hope that gardeners harbour what this is going to be the best year yet. So how can we make this garden year remarkable? Last week we mentioned this is a good time to round up recyclable containers for starting you seeds indoors. Next we’ll look at potting mix. Don’t scrimp and save on this component of your project because cheap potting mixes will usually result in poor plants.
