This show is all about testing your soil and we manage to do some planting as well. Soil testing is key when planning your garden. You have to know the proper pH balance in order for your plants to grow healthy and strong.
Be sure to test your soil every spring and fall. Make amendments based on your soil needs -whether it be more acidic or more alkaline. There are several ways to test your soil: A home test kit you can purchase at your home improvement store, a soil testing gauge that measures the pH and the fertility, or send a soil sample to your local county extension office.
We also managed to plant some cool season vegetables like Lettuce and Spinach. I am happy to say they are have already begun to grow and my husband and I enjoyed a salad with them just the other night and it was YUMMY! Also in the show I planted spring bulbs in order to have beautiful flowers for summer. I planted gladiolas and ranunculus and the glads are already coming up!
