As I have touched on already this winter, gardeners easily grow restless this time of year. Forcing bulbs inside helps but unfortunately there are few substitutes for working earth between one’s hands. There is, however, one easy project that is a fabulous way to start the summer garden in the quiet lull of winter: composting.
Interest in community gardens has reached an all-time high, but a garden could fizzle and fade unless the right training and support is provided for startup groups.

Gorden Gee and Brutus in a ceremonial tree planting Wednesday at Columbus State’s Delaware Campus. The planting marks a new partnership between the schools that will allow students at the Delaware campus to take Ohio State University courses taught by OSU faculty.
