Before you grab the pruners or plant those seeds, here’s what to trim now, what to leave alone, and how to start seedlings the right way. 

Large loofah harvest! Now what? Jennifer Nelson shows us her haul from last summer, and shares some possible ideas of what she’ll do with the unusual fruit. Then, Martie answers questions about pruning dormant trees and shrubs, and when to start cool season crops, as well as early spring flowers every gardener needs!  

Winter gardening tips, flower care secrets, and how to start seeds outdoors using simple containers.

Seed storage, winter sowing, grow lights, and choosing the right seeds for Zone 6 are all on the table this week on MidAmerican Gardener.

Rusty and Jen are back in the studio to tell us what we can do to start getting our hands dirty this spring.
