Spring

hile some of you may be fortunate enough to garden year-round thanks to a moderate climate or a greenhouse, for most people spring marks the start of the growing season. After a winter cooped up indoors, looking out the window at a brown and barren landscape, I think there’s an almost primal urge to get in the garden this time of year. Springtime is a chance to reconnect with the earth, a time of renewal and possibility. In this section, I’ll share ways to care for your soil and set yourself up for success as the year progresses. I’ll talk about a few of the foods I harvest from March through May, with tips for growing them in your own plot. And, of course, there are recipes to help you enjoy what’s in season now.
