Gardening is an act of optimism, and never more so than in this spring of COVID-19, with late snows and wicked winds. First-time vegetable growers can have a steep learning curve, but rich resources are available. Planning and prep are key to a successful garden, and will pay dividends throughout the growing season.

JACKSON — April, in the mountains of New Hampshire, is often a winter month, and that proved true once again in 2020. The snowpack dissipated by mid-month, offering the prospect of an early spring, but ever since, nights in the 20s, occasional snow and wicked winds have prevailed.
Spring persists, however, creeping in around the edges. The swallows have returned from their daunting travels to Mexico and South America; the peepers and tree frogs might be shivering but still vocalize at dusk; snow drops and crocuses are in bloom, with daffodils soon to follow. And May is just around the corner.
