Spring is here in Ann Arbor, and that means it's time to get our hands in the soil and start planting! Whether you’re trying to stretch your grocery dollars or simply crave that unbeatable taste of fresh-picked vegetables, gardening is one of the most rewarding things you can do. I know this not just from research—but from my roots. Growing up, I spent countless hours in the garden with my grandfather, Paul Melton, a name many Ann Arbor residents still recognize.
