Barring any of those peculiar April snowstorms that can sneak in from time to time, it would seem we have “rounded the corner” and spring is at our doorstep.  In New England, this is referred to as Mud Season, due in part to the thawing ground and more frequent liquid versus frozen precipitation.  We found one way of the best ways to keep that mud and dirt outside is with a robust doormat, which can scrub away the caked on dirt from your boots. 

Now is a fine time to start taking stock of your garden, to see what needs to be mended, cleaned or replaced.  If your ceramic pots were used last year, be sure to give them a good cleaning with the hose and pot brush before planting any new arrivals.  And like us, if you own some that look a little worse for wear, these recycled rubber flower pots are a great replacement.
