| BY TYNIN FRIES, TFRIES@DENVERPOST.COM Hi friends! For me, it's gardening season, the time when I attempt to get my backyard into shape for planting. I think this is the last weekend of hard gardening work, so maybe I'll reward myself with a hike. How are you spending your spring weekends? Heads up Check the weather before you head out on your adventures because we've entered hail season. This afternoon, we're expecting severe thunderstorms with possible hail and damaging winds. Friday will also have a chance for storms, while Saturday and Sunday look warmer, sunnier and drier.
