Spring is in the air, the weather is warming up, the bikinis are coming out of the closet, and the flowers are in bloom. Spring is a great time for planting gardens. So get that green thumb ready because we’ve got some computer tips that will help you grow as a gardener.
First of all, we recommend a wonderful CD-ROM called the Better Homes and Gardens Complete Guide to Gardening. This software lets you research what types of flowers you’d like to plant, what time of year is best to plant them, how to design your garden, and lots more.
For you Net surfers, we’ve got some great Web sites that are loaded with information about gardening.
