If you haven't had the chance to get your veggie garden going, you're not alone.

Master Gardener Candace Hart at the University of Illinois Extension Office says it's been hard string together enough dry days to get your garden ready. For now, we seem to be past the 'freeze warning' phase of the spring.

If you've been adventurous this spring, you may have those cooler weather vegetables going. Hart says you could probably drop those in the ground now if you get a few hours to prep the dirt.

For those seedlings you've started inside, Hart says it's best to keep those under a fluorescent light and get them outside when you can until the weather turns long enough to get them in the ground. Initially, though, you'll want to limit their exposure to the outdoors.

Yesterday on Regional Radio News, we heard from the National Weather Service they are predicting drier conditions heading towards the middle to the end of May.
