Now that spring is here, we're getting more active in the garden! It's time to get cold-tolerant vegetables in the ground, but wait to plant nightshade varieties. Prune roses, and tend to trees and shrubs damaged by the recent ice storm. Join us for the premiere episode of Virginia Home Grown on Tuesday, March 30 at 8 p.m. on VPM PBS.

Even after recent ice storms, the nearing arrival of spring is in the air. Peggy shares her tips on prepping the garden for the beginning of the growing season.

While January is not typically a huge harvest season, things are still growing! You can also begin the prep work for this year by planting flower bulbs, turning your compost and planning out your garden.

It's time to clear leaves and debris from your shrubs and prepare soil in the garden for cold weather for a productive spring.

As our 20th season wraps up and the days get cooler, the outdoor growing season is coming to an end.

Fall is the time to enjoy cooler-season blooms and plan for spring!

Though summer is coming to an end and temperatures begin cool down, our growing season is still in full swing for flowers and vegetables.

Weeds thrive in Virginia's high temperatures and humidity. Keep up daily watering and weeding, and begin your succession plantings and plans for fall gardens!

Peggy shares how her garden has changed from spring into summer, and how to keep all the plants healthy and uncrowded.

After the back-and-forth of both unseasonably cold and hot temperatures, we're past all of our frost dates and gardening is back in full swing
