It's March, and the weather is quickly changing once again. Tonight, we are reviewing what you should be doing in the garden this month by USDA Growing Zones 6-10. Don't forget - we have Tomato, Pepper, and Brassica Plugs available! Sweet Potato Slips are also on Pre-Sale! Let's Grow Together and Get Dirty!  Zone 6:

• Plant peas, Kale, Onions, Spinach, Broccoli, Radish and parsley towards the end of the month directly in the garden.
• Plant Seed Potatoes
• Start transplants indoors of tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant and any other cool season veg you’d like to grow.

Zone 7:

• Start transplants indoors of tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant- try to get this done by March 15th.
• Plant Seed Potatoes
• By the end of March, you should be safe to start the process of hardening off for transplant outside of your onions, parsley, and any other cool season crops that are at least 5 weeks old. Select smaller rather than larger plants of the cold crops (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts) since overly mature plants exposed to low temperatures early in the season tend to bolt into flower too early. (Order Brassica’s from Hoss)
• Direct sow carrots, Swiss chard, peas, collards, kale, kohlrabi, leaf lettuce, onions, parsley, parsnips, beets, leaf lettuce, radishes, salsify and spinach as soil and weather conditions permit.
