In 2010 I was the Assistant Director at an art gallery in Little Falls, MN. That was the year I was introduced to the wonderful world of Poetry Slams. Slams are a competitive arts event where poets perform spoken word in front of a live audience and are critiqued by a panel of judges. Formats vary, however, they tend to be loud and lively. I was instantly addicted after my first show. April is National Poetry Month and I will take this opportunity to scratch the surface of the intriguing world of poetry.

It was near zero and the snowpack was solid in Lake County early this week.

You could also strap on the skies and glide across the frozen landscape in any direction. Photo courtesy of Forrest Johnson
April Fools it is! So, by the time this gets to your eyes I hope we are looking at warmer days. But currently the buzz has been about the weather.
The steady snow melt is saturating our parched soils, and soon buds will open revealing a sea of green. Northern gardeners are dreaming of tending to plants in the fresh air and starting seeds indoors to transplant. Many vegetables and flowers can be started indoors, and seed starting can be a simple task. A general rule of thumb is to plan 4-6 weeks of growing indoors before transplanting outdoors. Also consider that our average last frost dates in our hardiness zones 3b-4b are June 5th-11th. Counting back leads us to the middle to end of April before starting many of our annual seeds.
