 I was reminded by an article by Olivia Heath in www.HouseBeautiful.com that gardening can be an exercise program. A British TV gardener and a retailer created a program calculating that a recommended daily allowance for gardening of 30 minutes a day boosts physical and mental health. In my viewpoint, not only will 30 minutes a day provide health benefits, but my garden would look a whole lot better. It’s actually pretty genius to embrace that goal since it would meet my exercise goal and my gardening tasks with one action. In other words, two check-marks on my daily to-do list.

April is one of those months where winter continues or spring makes an appearance. I’m anxious to get out into the garden but right now it is under 2 feet of snow. As soon as that white stuff has melted there are a few things that can still be done. Pruning dormant trees and bushes is tops on my list once I no longer need to use snowshoes to get to those plants. This is also the month to start seeds. Let’s get gardening.
