When should you start your garden this year? Local York County grower weighs in
York Dispatch
Gardening stores in York County are preparing for an influx of gardeners both amateur and professional, as they gear up for another season of cultivating and planting.
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic last March, new gardeners itching for a fun hobby picked up gloves, hoes and watering cans for the first time including new clientele for York Township-based Miller Plant Farm.
One year later, staff members of Miller Plant Farm are already seeing returning gardeners ready for their second year. Whether folks had a background in gardening or not, they found (the pandemic) a great time to get started, said Dustyn Miller, the head grower of specialty and vegetative annuals for Miller Plant Farm. I expect a lot of those folks to continue with their hobby in gardening.
