The garden is ready to be plowed and weeded to get it in shape for spring; which is coming soon. There is a lot of nippy air that remains around, so it can be tough getting the garden in shape. If you can brave the cool air now and get the ground ready for planting, you will be able to start sowing seeds soon. I think on Easter Sunday or the weekend following Easter is a good time to start planting the garden. I live in Georgia, so states to the north might want to wait a couple of extra weeks to make sure Jack Frost doesn’t come nipping at their gardens. There is nothing worse than getting a garden started and then having to deal with a freeze.
The garden supply stores are stocking up now and I’m sure the gardeners won’t have a hard time finding a sale on garden supplies. I will be going shopping soon and I need to pick up several things to help me keep the garden going this year. I spent way too much time rolling out and rolling up garden hoses last year that I had to do manually. I’m going to make it easier on myself this year and get a retractable garden hose reel. This is going to save me a lot of time and energy on the garden this summer.
The garden hose reel in the picture above is a little out of my price range or at least I thought it was. I actually found a good bargain at Buy.com and this no-crank retractable garden hose reel is affordable for me. I don’t think I will find a better deal at the garden supply stores or the hardware store. I can order this product online and the shipping is free on this item at Buy.com. I’m glad I saw this being sold over there and this makes me want to look around online for other deals on garden supplies. You may want to do the same while the weather is still too cold for planting and feel free to come back here and share the deals you find online. I think I will actually enjoy watering the garden this year; if I do get a new garden hose reel.
