Maybe its the longer days or the warmer temperatures, but theres something about spring time that signals our biological clock to get outside and dig in the dirt. Whether its a small container garden, a massive veggie plot or some showy perennials, now is the time to start turning the soil and trolling the local nursery aisles for the perfect greenery. And with a little luck, and some help from Mother Nature, even a rookie gardener can go from green horn to green thumb in no time.
