We're all itching to plant in the garden, but it's way too early. What we can do, however, is work on our garden design. You don't have to be a professional designer to do a simple design. Here's some tips. On a piece of paper sketch out the structures, natural features, walkways and other permanent fixtures around the garden area. Indicate the amount of light the bed area gets. To build fertile beds, try no-dig gardening. Place layers of newspaper, or a piece of corrugated cardboard, over the area and then bring in a 6- to 8-inch thick mix of topsoil and compost to cover it. Instead of starting your design with specific flowers, do a bubble diagram. On that piece of paper, draw bubbles where different types of garden would work such as a full sun perennial garden, a shade garden, an edible garden, pollinator garden, some shrubs.... This will help you imagine what the whole area will look like when planted. Then choose plants that are hardy in your area, are adapted to your sun conditions and whose ultimate sizes will fit in the location and with each other. Try to select a range of plants that will flower at different times to give you summer long color. Mix in some annual plants for continuous color. Don't get too caught up with matching colors. Grow what you like. You can always move plants later. For more garden design ideas, come to the Connecticut Flower and Garden Show at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford February 23-26. I'll be giving a talk on No-Dig Gardening on Saturday, February 25.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You're listening to the Westerly Sun's podcast, where we talk about the best local events, new job postings, obituaries, and more. First, a bit of Rhode Island trivia. Today's trivia is brought to you by Perennial.  Perennial's new plant-based drink “Daily Gut & Brain” is a blend of easily digestible nutrients crafted for gut and brain health. A convenient mini-meal, Daily Gut & Brain” is available now at the CVS Pharmacy in Wakefield. Now for some trivia. Did you know that television presenter, Billy Bush, went to high school at St. George's in Middletown? The nephew of President George H.W. Bush, cousin to President George W. Bush, and Governor Jeb Bush was a correspondent on Access Hollywood, hosted the Billy Bush SHow, and was added as a co-host of Today before losing his job to Donald Trump's Access Hollywood tape. He has since come back and now hosts Extra. Now for our feature story: A week after lifting most COVID-19 restrictions in the state, Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont said Wednesday that his focus is now on getting people back into their offices and back to normal summer activities. Lamont joined other state officials and business leaders at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford to tout the state's high vaccination rate and low coronavirus infection rate. “I have spent the last year-plus saying stay safe, stay home and today I'm telling you, get out of the damn house, come enjoy Hartford, get on a plane, visit a restaurant, visit an amazing hotel,” he said. Connecticut has seen new cases go from a seven-day average of about 427 cases per day on May 10 to just about 167 new cases, according to data from John's Hopkins University. That's down from more than 2,000 a day in January. More than 1.8 million people have been fully vaccinated in the state and more than 60% of Connecticut residents have received at least one dose of the vaccine, according to the governor's office. Connecticut Economic and Community Development Commissioner David Lehman said Connecticut's economic activity is about 92% of what it was pre-pandemic, which ranks 19th in the nation. “So, we are better than average, but we need to get that to 100% and really we need to get that beyond 100%,” he said. One of the state's first large-audience events in more than a year is scheduled for this weekend at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, which will host the NCAA lacrosse national championships. Michael Freimuth, the executive director of the Capital Region Development Authority, said more than 10,000 tickets had already been sold for Saturday's opening games. The event runs through Monday. Over 600 hotel nights have been booked for the event, half of them in downtown Hartford, he said.

In November the Connecticut Technology Council hosted its annual Innovation Summit at the Connecticut Convention Center, inviting startups and investors from all over the region to pitch their ideas in a supportive and creative environment.

Over the next couple of weeks we'll be sharing these casts with you, starting with today's show featuring Diameter Health. Diameter Health wants to "...transform healthcare through clinical intelligence" and "leverage clinical analytics to normalize and understand the wealth of data in Electronic Health Records."
