Today marks the beginning of the second full week of Spring in the northern hemisphere, even if some of us are stuck in second winter. Share your garden goals, projects, challenges, and successes for this growing season; share your tips, tricks, and garden hacks, or anything else you'd like. Let's all help each other grow something beautiful together!

If folks are into it, I'd like to make this a weekly thread for everyone to share updates and assistance as the year progresses. Please let me know if that's something you'd all like.

Digging up the entire back yard to try to remove all the Ailanthus roots that have been murdering just about everything I try to grow. Wish me luck!

Also a bunch of seeds I was stratifying in jars all winter have now sprouted. Pearly everlasting, Prairie smoke, Northern sea oats, Leadplant… yay!

I love prairie smoke, they end up looking like tiny truffula trees (from The Lorax).

That's awesome, great job! Wishing you the best success dealing with the Ailanthus
