Yes, I stole that one. But garden- ing has a long tradition of Nmethod-theft and it makes all the sense in the world to steal all the good ideas that can be found. In the course of the next two months those of us who contemplate, anticipate, and salivate over the possibilities of this year’s garden season will be collecting our strength, resources, and optimism for whatever the growing season throws at us. A series of articles, beginning with this one, will hopefully illuminate for you cor- ners of the garden world otherwise obscured, or at least you’ll remember the most important steps to a successful gar- den.

GMCG began the Water Quality Monitoring program in the Ossipee Watershed in 2002 in order to collect baseline data and better understand the quality of the region’s rivers and streams. The program has expanded over the years to include lake moni- toring, year-round sampling, ground- water sampling and macroinvertebrate sampling with local schools, summer camps, and partner organizations like the University of New Hampshire and the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services. Volunteers are the eyes, ears, and voice for the Watershed, contributing thousands of hours to the program each year and helping to collect data for 45 different testing sites.
