SPRING Tips from this Episode:

- Spring is the perfect time to repot your plants! 

- You want to start fertilizing your plant in the Spring if you haven't yet - OR boost your fertilizer to more often if you were already using in the non growing season! You can use liquid plant food, granules, fish emulsion, worm casings, lake water or whatever works best for you! Just make sure to feed your plants.

- Mother's Day is a great time to think of outdoor planting in the Midwest (OR any time that there is consistently no overnight frost).
