		<description><![CDATA[Fitting June into the month of May is a different way of thinking for those of us who love the yard and garden. It’s been tough waiting for May 10, the usual frost free date, before setting out annual plants and planting the garden.

This month can bring great happenings to many or a late freeze can bring much destruction to the plant community]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The nursery and garden seed catalogs have been arriving for the past two months. This is the time when I like to spend time checking out new cultivars of vegetables and new varieties of perennials flowers.
