Spring is almost upon us! We've been quiet, but still working (and for this social media poster, resting) behind the scenes!

During this time, you can directly sow your seeds outdoors for some crops. Some examples are carrots, okra, spinach, and watermelon.

The National #Gardening Association has more information: https://garden.org/apps/calendar/?q=charlotte%2C+nc#spring

Don't forget to utilize an #almanac for planning!

You can put a lot into your compost-- including poop! Chicken poop is especially high in nitrogen, which helps in the plant's photosynthesis.

There's a lot more you can put in your #compost; follow the link below for some examples!
