We realize that it's not always easy to come up with new ideas for fresh and engaging content, so we decided to put together this series of Hot Topic posts to help get you started.
If we look back at the last few years of Google Analytics data (for all our sites), these were the posts that consistently drew the most traffic during March and April or were written during March and April and became popular later. While some posts are no longer published, many still are and continue to thrive even years after being published.
There were three major categories that emerged in our top March and/or April posts:1) What to Plant, When to Plant, How to Get Started
- When Is the Best Time to Use Weed and Feed Fertilizers?
