I moved to West Monroe last August, after a lifetime in western New York and northern New England.  I'm an avid gardener, but I just can't figure out how the seasons work around here.  What should I plant?  When should I plant it?  And what in the world do I do about vegetables?  None of it makes any sense to me.  Reading through the seasons in your blog is starting to get me a little more grounded (pun intended).  I'm delighted to have found it.  I'll be a regular visitor.  Kudos for the lovely photography, as well.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Are you familiar with garden centers in Monroe/W Monroe?  I'd love some recommendations.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4547783720122066148/6400255367882385973/comments/default/2630680059569341692'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4547783720122066148/6400255367882385973/comments/default/2630680059569341692'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.diggrowcompostblog.com/2009/03/its-that-time-of-year.html?showComment=1237120560000#c2630680059569341692' title=''/><author><name>Kim Denise</name><uri>http://kimdenise.blogspot.com</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.diggrowcompostblog.com/2009/03/its-that-time-of-year.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-6400255367882385973' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4547783720122066148/posts/default/6400255367882385973' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1339944359'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-4525079949409930398</id><published>2009-03-14T06:15:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-03-14T06:15:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Your blog is wonderful.
