The art of spring isn't just for flowers; it's also for people. Spring is capable of uniting people. A new painting perfectly captures this spirit. "Spring Bloom and Birds" was created by a retired pastor and an ex-school teacher. Although the artist doesn't sell the original artwork, posters and prints can be purchased from her.

FAQ
How can I tell what kind of soil is mine?
The dirt's color can tell you what it is. Darker soils contain more organic matter than lighter-colored ones. Soil tests are another option. These tests are used to determine the quantity of nutrients in soil.
What equipment do I need to grow vegetables?
Not really. You only need a trowel, shovel, watering can, and a rake.
When can you plant flowers in your garden?
Spring is the best season to plant flowers. It is when the temperatures are warmer and the soil is still moist. Planting flowers should be done after the first frost if you live in a cold climate. The ideal temperature for indoor gardening is 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
What vegetables can you grow together?
Tomatoes and peppers can be grown together because they prefer similar soil conditions. Both are great companions as tomatoes require heat to ripen, while peppers need cooler temperatures to achieve their best flavor. Plant them together indoors at least six weeks before you plant them. When the weather is warm, transplant the pepper and tomato plants outside.
