Last weekend marked the beginning of the 2012 Wisconsin Fishing Opener.  Water temperatures are close to 60 degrees which is bringing bass and bluegill into the shallow areas.

Opportunities to explore and enjoy more than 200 publicly owned properties encompassing more than 500,000 acres in locations all across Wisconsin will be enhanced thanks to a $5 million investment in improvements over the next two years.

Join Lake Superior Master Gardeners and UW-Extension Horticulture Educator Jane Anklam for instruction and a demonstration on planting your spring garden.  The educational session will take place 10:00 a.m. on May 5th at the Broadway Market Community Garden at the corner of Broadway and Hammond in Superior. 

Topics include soil preparation, early spring weed identification, composting use, and planting.  The Broadway Community Garden is maintained by the Superior Council for the Arts.

The Lake Superior Master Gardeners have begun the garden planting at the Solid Rock Gardens.  Gardeners with questions about pests, plants, and fertilizers will find the Master Gardeners available to talk with you about your gardening tips and frustrations on Tuesday late afternoons from 4:00-6:00, most Tuesdays of the summer.

Solid Rock Gardens are located at the corner of Sixth St. and Weeks Avenue in Superior.
