The Green Thumb

Evergreens are still using moisture during the wintertime. If the winter is extremely dry, consequences may show up in the spring.

Where there's snow, there's usually ice, and where there's ice, there's salt. That salt, while great for keeping us upright on sidewalks, can be rough on our lawns.

Although the winter provides time to rest before the spring gardening season, productivity and planning with USU Extensions classes can pay off.

Instead of throwing away unused seeds, fallen leaves, and grass clippings, recycle and save them for your next growing season.
