Time to plant your gardenI got some row cover to put my seedlings out early this year and I'm having great success. Row cover can raise your covered garden beds by up to 4 degrees. It doesn't sound like much but it's a huge difference when the temps dip below 40 outside of your seedlings little hoop house.If you haven't already started your garden, it's not too late. You can pick up seedlings at your local farmers market or farm and garden supply store, and get those soon to be groceries, in the ground. Nothing is more gratifying, than picking the freshest food available right outside your kitchen. I wear gloves when I garden. When I plant seeds, I take the gloves off and my hands may actually get dirty. I always wash my hands when I go back in the house before I do anything inside. Our Tough Guy pumice soap is a great gardener's soap. It gently scrubs your hands, leaving them soft and clean after the work of planting your garden.
