Garden help

I came across a couple of links of great interest to me -and, I presume other gardeners as well. The first was from one of my favorite all-purpose sites, Lifehacker. The post in question is a list of ways to foil garden pests without putting a lot of harsh chemicals all over the yard and eventually into the water table. Good stuff. At present, I'm waging a psychological cold war (very soon to go hot!) with a couple of groundhogs, so it caught my eye. I'm going to try some of the tactics mentioned therein.

The second link is to a site called SproutRobot.

"SproutRobot will build a custom planting schedule based on your zip code so you always know what to plant and when.

Plug in your zip code to SproutRobot and it will generate a sample planting guide for the next few months."

Neat. I'm going with the free tier plan; it looks like a good little service.
