Spring Inventory

While your zeal for gardening isn't yet compatible with warm weather and frost-free nights, do a quick inventory of your gardening tools. Find a place to store the tools together so you don't have to hunt for them before each job. Now is the time to sharpen dull blades and replace or fix broken tools. Buy a fun mistinted paint and paint wooden handled tools to avoid losing track of them. Make your plant markers to save a step when you're ready to plant those seedlings. Construct your trellises and supports for climbing plants. Buy a new pair of garden gloves! (This is one of my personal favorites.) When it's time to plant, you will be ready to go with a neat and tidy army of supplies. Ok, now to avoid being hypocritical I actually have to do this!
