One more to add:  The Bellingham Unitarian Fellowship's Plant Sale will also be on May 7th - 9 am to 2 pm.  We feature bare root native plants in addition to perennials, herbs, houseplants, etc.

Please let me know if you have extra space in your car and you're going out to any of these farther away plant sales.  I do not drive, so am limited to how far I can travel in a short amount of time.  Thanks! :)

I have a lovage plant that is in need of dividing soon (within the next month before it gets too big to manage). Let me know if you would like a portion. I only want to keep 1/4 of it.

Comment by Anna Luna on March 16, 2011 at 1:03pm

I just moved into a new house with a big front yard and I could really use some help getting it going.  Is anyone interested in exchanging some help for a garden plot in the York district???  Contact me if so :0)

Early March! Finish up any fruit tree pruning & dormant oil sprays before those buds open up!  Normally we like to have ours completed by February!  Early planted peas are up!  Get your pea seeds in the ground if you haven't planted them yet...If it freezes again, some will make it, other won't, but you can always harvest them as short sprouts & put them in your stir fry.  Be sure to Not till or work you soil when its wet, so you don't destroy the tilth the microrganisms create.  Finish pruning your dead perennials &  cleaning up garden edges, and removing 'weedy-soil-guardians' into your compost pile!  Plant some hardy greens in a cold -frame or some direct in the ground with protection ready to cover from frosty mornings.

Find a greenhouse to work in  & help out a favorite gardener friend!

 

Mark your calendar for your personal

'Stay at Home & Garden Time!”.

...then look over some of the great plant sales & garden events coming up in our area:

I've posted an extensive list of at least eight spring plant sales, and they start this Sunday! Ive posted most all of them together on one link!   More will be added as they come in on the "Spring Fever Whatcom Plant Sales & Swaps" event page.- http://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/events/spring-fever-whatcom-plant   (click follow on the event page to be notified by email).
