Speaking of seeds…

Retail nurseries in the Grand Valley area of Colorado are anticipating strong sales of seeds and vegetable starts, the Grand Junction Sentinel reported. Bookcliff Gardens nursery retail store manager Dennis Hill said he plans to bump production of vegetable and herb plants by 15 to 20 percent. “We think folks are going to be a lot more interested in it this spring. When the economy is like this, people tend to hunker down,” Hill said.
