This post is a little late! I began to clean up my garden during the week of May 13th. For years I've always heard never to plant before May 15th, even though the average last frost in my area is in April. However this old tip verified this year with cold temps in the 30's at night leading up to the 15th. This caused me to lug all my plants into the garage and back out on to the deck every day! Bright side of the cold conditions is it gave me time to find a simple yet fantastic tool. I found this hand tiller for about $25 at Lowe's, it works amazingly! It not only saved my back from turning my garden soil with a shovel it also sped the process up greatly. I actually tilled my whole garden within 15 minutes!!!! It loosened the soil up great, which is good because it was so compact from the winter. Im hoping the soil is healthier as well because it mixed air back into the soil!
