Early Spring: What to do and how, as trees leaf out until Forsythia blooms
These ensemble editions of our What's Up! and Grow newsletters were written for Early Spring gardening. They address what people see in Early Spring as well as what you can be doing then to have a more beautiful, productive, easy-care garden.
- Early spring begins as the first trees bud out (open growing buds) and ends when the Forsythia blooms
- In Zone 5-6, across the center of North America, that's Mid-March to Mid-April
