Tips for Hardy Gardeners: finding the happy medium

Splurge on a gorgeous hanging basket or colorful container of flowers ... but keep it inside for a few more days.

Plan your vegetable garden ... but wait a little longer to actually plant it.

Have flowers and vegetables and surround yourself with the outdoors of your dreams ... but make a little space for the critters and insects and "weeds" that share it with you.

It's all about the finding the balance.

Lisa Johnson started her broadcast career anchoring the television news at her high school and spinning country music at KWWK/KOLM Radio in Rochester, Minnesota. She was a reporter and news anchor at KTHI in Fargo, ND (not to mention the host of a children's program called "Lisa's Lane") and a radio reporter and anchor in Moorhead, Bismarck, Wahpeton and Fergus Falls.Since 1991, she has hosted Northland Morning on KUMD. One of the best parts of her job includes "paying it forward" by mentoring upcoming journalists and broadcasters on the student news team that helps produce Northland Morning. She also loves introducing the different people she meets in her job to one another, helping to forge new "community connections" and partnerships.Lisa has amassed a book collection weighing over two tons, and she enjoys reading, photography, volunteering with Animal Allies Humane Society and fantasizing about farmland. She goes to bed at 8pm, long before her daughter, two cats, or three dogs.
