How to Use the Garden Calendar
Pick a month to explore what’s happening in the PNW garden right now. Use the filters to zoom in on vegetables, flowers, trees, pests, or soil tasks—whether you’re planning ahead or checking in today.
Filter:
February
The soft beginning. Days stretch. Slugs wake up before you feel ready.
