Feb. 24 Column: Season Introduction

Today’s an exciting day because my first garden column of the season is in today’s edition of The Spokesman-Review newspaper, here in Spokane, Wash. It is a season introduction that includes a list of what we’re growing this year. Here’s a link: The weather outside may be frightful, but spring will come. Eventually.

You can also find the list under the “Guides” menu of this website: Susan’s Garden – 2019. In addition to the vegetables, I’ve also included potential online sources for the seeds just to make it easier for you.

However, if you live in the Spokane area, be sure to visit Northwest Seed & Pet (esp. their store located at 2422 E. Sprague) because they have done a great job of ordering in most of the seeds I’ve mentioned, plus they have the BEST seed selection in this region. That is no understatement, believe me!

Moving right along… as you can see by the photos on this post, we are buried in snow here these days. I had every expectation that there would be bare ground by today, but no such luck. So I made the best of it while shooting my first “Everyone Can Grow a Garden” video for the 2019 season; it airs today as well. Take a look:

Well, did you get a kick out of my snowy garden tour? I hope so. And I hope the snow goes away soon so we can really get down to the fun of gardening!

Remember that you can always watch my videos on my YouTube channel. I recently created playlists for the 2018 videos, 2017 videos, vegetable gardening videos, flower gardening videos and so on. I’ll be creating a 2019 video playlist shortly.

OK, the garden season is officially under way!
