TweetGrow Light Tech Has Advanced a Lot Since I Started TSP!
Spring is coming! Well technically it was spring here in Texas 4 days ago, now it is winter again and it will be spring her on Thursday and Summer for a day on next Tuesday before returning to winter on the following day.
For most of the nation is it actually winter and it may seem spring is a long way off, but it isn’t. March 21st is the official first day of spring, that is only 63 days. For much of the country your last frost date is close to that time, perhaps only a few more weeks out.
Many seeds should be started in a protected environment about 6-8 weeks before setting out, translation, it is time to get those seeds ordered and started very soon.
