Put down that rake!

The first warm, sunny days of spring are almost irresistible, luring gardeners out to begin tidying up the landscape for the growing season. But have you noticed how a balmy day in the 60s is closely followed by one in the 40s? Pollinators know this, too! Many are still waiting, as chrysalides or larvae, beneath the protective cover of fallen leaves and plant canes. It's best to wait a few more weeks, when temps will be consistently warmer.
(If you're just itching for a clean-up job, try tackling those emerging early-season weeds like garlic mustard!)
