    Plant gladiolus every two weeks from mid-May to June.

    By spacing out the time of your planting, you can space out the flowering period, too.

    Wondering what to plant this year?

    Do you work hard in preparing the soil, watering, weeding, and managing pests, but have disappointing results?  Gardeners who sow a superior variety can grow plants that will yield abundantly, resist disease, tolerate heat and drought, and produce delicious food.

    VOLES

    As snow melts with the anticipation of spring you may find surface runways that look like a maze of tunnels in your lawn.  This may be caused by Voles or “field mice” as they are active year-round.  The damage is minimal and will usually disappear with the growing grass.
