Finally the snow starts melting...

Finally the snow started melting off the lawns in Calgary and what is the first thing I saw? Snow mold - spreading over the lawn as the snow recedes. Of course I got out right away and used a fan rake to briskly but not deeply rake the lawn to break up the fungal mat. Here are a couple of pictures of the lawn yesterday.

By tomorrow we are supposed to have more snow. Is it worth spraying? NO of course not.

But it doesn't hurt to sweep or lightly rake as soon as the snow melts- and this could be on different dates depending on the direction your lawn faces. South facing slopes will be the first to dry out.

Read the Calgary Herald for a Sneak-A-Peak

Here is advance notice that the Calgary Herald has started running excerpts from my newest book - No Guff Vegetable Gardening- in this Friday's Calgary Herald. Check out the Life Today section of the Herald for the first excerpt on Friday March 18th.

Pick up a copy of the book at your closest independent bookstore or garden center, and let me know what you think. PS Thanks to all my friends who have been buying books and sending me notes. I really appreciate the support.
