Not our garden, but someday!<\/p><\/div>\n

If you’ve been wondering why you’ve been hearing the angels singing this past week, it’s because it’s April! Time to start digging in the ground and getting dirt under our fingernails. Now, we openly admit that, when it comes to vegetable gardening, our green thumbs are less green and more a wilted shade of brown, but that doesn’t stop us from giving gardening a go every year, even if it’s just planting some lettuce and tomatoes in our meager container garden (we rent, so we make do). And every year, we manage to plant something at the wrong time, or we crowd our plants together so nothing really grows, or we don’t weed enough, etc. And every year, we vow to learn more and improve on what we’ve done in the past. Perhaps you’re in the same boat.\u00a0 If you’re unsure about what should be going into the ground this month (remaining cautious of unexpected frosts, of course), here’s a quick and dirty list courtesy the Urban Farmer website<\/a>:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Beans<\/p>\n

Beets<\/p>\n

Cabbage<\/p>\n

Carrots<\/p>\n

Corn<\/p>\n

Cucumbers<\/p>\n

Herbs such as thyme, sage, oregano, and basil<\/p>\n

Lettuce<\/p>\n

Melons<\/p>\n

Onions<\/p>\n

Peas<\/p>\n

Peppers<\/p>\n

Summer Squash<\/p>\n

Tomatoes<\/p>\n

Also, if you’re starting from seed for warmer weather crops, get those seeds going now.<\/p>\n

Feeling overwhelmed with the process and need a little extra guidance? Here’s where we go for our gardening info:<\/p>\n

New Paltz Agway\/Mac’s Farm and Garden<\/a> (New Paltz)<\/p>\n

Adams Fairacre Farms<\/a> (Kingston, Poughkeepsie, Wappinger, and Newburgh)<\/p>\n

The Phantom Gardener<\/a> (Rhinebeck)<\/p>\n

Lowe’s<\/a> and Home Depot<\/a> (Newburgh, Kingston, and just about everywhere else)<\/p>\n

Cornell Cooperative Extension<\/a> (they offers classes, but their online resources<\/a> are pretty swell, too)<\/p>\n

This is obviously not an inclusive list, so we likely missed some great gardening resources. What are you planning on planting, and where do you go for valuable gardening guidance? Tell us in the comments.<\/p>\n
