It's time! Have you started receiving seed catalogs in the mail yet? I'm guessing you have. Why not try a little gardening this year? It's great to get outside and there aren't too many things more gratifying than seeing little seedlings pop up through the soil...unless it's picking the fruits (or vegetables) of your labors.
If you're new to gardening, there are some great resources nearby that will help you with the adventure. You can contact the Extension Agency (located at the Pike County Court House) and the good folks there will set you up with some beginners information. You can also contact the Farmers Market Group; this is a group of area growers that would be happy to share their successes.
Start off this spring with something easy that's really pretty...how about nasturtiums? They are hardy, they grow in many kinds of soils, and, believe it or not, they are edible! For a really good how-to instructional site on growing them, click here.
So, grab that seed catalog, start shopping, and happy growing!
