May Gardening Tips
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.
The following varieties have performed well in research conducted in gardens and research stations in North Dakota and other states in the Midwest: http://www.dakotagardener.com/trials/recommendations.pdf

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.
