Spring is in full swing and it's a busy, exciting time in the garden! It's the time of year when we just want to be outdoors enjoying the nice, sunny weather. ☀️
With that said, we have a short-and-sweet May newsletter featuring seasonal Planter FAQs; Growing Guide articles on How to Plan a Hummingbird Garden, What are Insectary Plants, and Planning How Much to Grow; and a YouTube video on how to protect your garden from those wascally wabbits!

Growing Guide Highlights
Samantha says: None of the birds in my garden give me as much joy and entertainment as hummingbirds. Watching them zip around from flower to flower is fun, and the occasional low fly-by lets me get an up-close look.
If you want to add the excitement of hummingbirds to your gardens, put some of these “hummingbird magnet” plants in your garden plans this year!
By planting insectary plants we can encourage predatory and parasitic insects to take up residence in our garden. Not to mention supporting pollinators which are much appreciated garden helpers!
Our newest Growing Guide author, Sam Liddicott, has an info-packed series of articles to help you figure out how much food to grow and how to get maximum yields from your garden space.
