Welcome January

Many people greet January with a bit of the post holiday blues, and a pound or two heavier or both.  Not gardeners, well maybe the weight gain part, but that will easily be worked off when the gardening season commences.  In the mean time use the winter months to get your mental garden game in tune and ready for the new season.

To get started for the new year please read my Denver Post 'Punch List' (also called 'To Do' list) on this link - January Garden To Do List. Thank you so much if you're already doing so. Through the year you can read these monthly (September through March) or weekly (April through August) columns by clicking on the links to the left.  I post them to this blog as soon as they are published on the Denver Post's website.  I also link them on Facebook and Twitter. 

Don't forget to sign up for a garden class or two or more from the many resources available in our community.  Many are free or low cost.  Here's where to check for classes, not in any particular order. This is by no means a comprehensive listing, just a place to start looking.
