University of Maine Cooperative Extension has a new online resource designed to encourage all the gardeners who are waiting for warmer weather and soil ready for planting.

Every week, "Growing Maine Gardeners" features a new activity and video demonstration suitable for all ages, including making seed tape and forcing branches to bloom indoors. The focus is family-friendly indoor and outdoor gardening projects, including tips on getting the most out of Maine’s brief growing season.
