The warm weather this past weekend has gardeners itching to get outside and plant. Although the soil is still a bit cool, there are plenty of vegetables that you can sow in the garden now for harvest in the coming weeks. Staggering plantings every few weeks will give you a non-stop crop of leaf lettuce, spinach, radishes, spring onions, beets and more.  If you’d like to learn the basics of growing vegetables and herbs, attend a free program—Growing Edibles: What you need to Know to Harvest Your Own Food” by Chicagoland Gardening writer, Nina Koziol. The program will be held at Sid’s Greenhouse locations
