Prepping for Spring
And we're back... season number five has officially begun!
To keep everyone from getting frostbite, I know... the warmer weather has hit us early but lets keep the itch to garden in the planning stages. Until the temps are consistently warm, all the critters are still in their winter naps. Disturbing their beds would be a bad thing when you need beneficial friends this season.
Mike has some things you can do while those last flakes of snow are still floating around the sky.
If you still have an itch, start binge listening to our past four seasons... or did you do that already this winter? PLUS the lineup of show ideas we have coming up is exciting so stay tuned!
