SUDDENLY, MARCH ARRIVES, and all of the leafy planning and shrub-smart plotting we vowed to do after New Year's Day, when January and February were in full swing, somehow didn't flower.

SPRING PLANTING JUBILEE... & Tomato Sale on Saturday, March 17 and Sunday, March 18.

CHECK OUT ALL THAT'S SPROUTING... at this herb- and vege-focused wonderland, now, and what else the busy weekend will bring. And no worries, at all, if you didn't plan your rosemary and mint plots back in January. There's help coming up, in Encinitas, at one of the most basil-beautiful, thyme-tastic to-dos on the calendar.
