About Garden
A garden runs on timing and soil. Compost turns kitchen scraps and fallen leaves into crumbly dark matter that holds water and feeds roots; mulch spread on top keeps that moisture from evaporating and smothers weeds before they take hold. Bulbs planted in fall sit dormant through the cold and bloom the following spring. Bees moving between flowers pollinate the tomatoes, while a trellis lifts sprawling vines off the ground where slugs and rot wait.
Reach for this one when spring planting is on your mind, or when a class is starting seeds on the windowsill and needs the vocabulary that goes with the work.
