Todd is famous! OK that is a BIG exaggeration, but he did make the local newspaper. Check it out by clicking here! The Daily Herald wrote an article on the gardening class he is currently taking. Todd is in one of the pictures and is quoted.
Unfortunately, the information about Todd isn't quite accurate. Oh well. Unlike the article states, we weren't "dedicated" enough to rip out our backyard grass and replace it all with strawberries. (Todd never actually said anything about being "dedicated to growing food.") We do have a strawberry patch in our backyard and did rip out the grass in our front mow strip so we could plant more strawberries in that previously wasted space. Since our kids love strawberries, we had to be a little creative to find enough space to fill our strawberry needs. However not at the expense of all the fun we have in the grass and play area of our backyard. We do have six kids after all!
The other error is that the Master Gardener class Todd will be taking starts in the fall, not the spring. If you are interested in that class, you can call and put your name on a list to be contacted when the class is available for registration.
Did you plan your garden yet? We don't have our garden space completely planned, but we have planned what we will be planting this year. Our seeds have arrived. Some seeds have even been planted for starts. It helps that Todd did that as part of his gardening class.

It is time to at least be thinking about your garden. May will be here before we know it!
Oh and we got our baby chicks, but that's for another post!

Are you ready for garden season? What are you doing to get ready? What do you wish you were doing to get ready?
