Tips for Spring Gardening.

Early Spring

• Cool Season Vegetables  Begin sowing crops that can withstand the cold, such as broccoli, radishes, lettuce, spinach, and peas. As soon as the land is suitable for planting, these veggies may be planted as they prefer colder climates.
• Herbs Early spring is a good time to start growing herbs including chives, cilantro, and parsley. When there is no longer a chance of frost, they may be moved outdoors and thrive in milder climates.

Late Spring until Mid June

• Warm Season Vegetables  Plant warm season vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and beans after the risk of frost has gone. Longer days and warmer soil are necessary for the growth of these plants.
• Flowers To add color to your landscape, plant annual flowers like zinnias, marigolds, and petunias. You may also plant perennials in late spring, such coneflowers, hostas, and daylilies.

Early Summer

• Succession Planting Sow fast growing crops like beans, lettuce, and radishes every few weeks to ensure consistent yields.
• Mulching Cover garden beds with mulch to keep moisture in, keep weeds out, and control soil temperature.

• Herbs The summer heat is ideal for basil, oregano, and thyme. To promote fresh growth, give them regular harvests and make sure they have enough water.

• Cover Crops To strengthen the health of your soil, think about growing cover crops like rye or clover. To provide nutrients, these crops may be tilled into the soil in the spring.

Mid to Late Fall
 
• Onions and Garlic In late fall, plant onion and garlic sets. Before the earth freezes, they will set roots and be prepared to grow in the spring.
• Perennials Replant and divide plants such as daylilies, peonies, and irises. Moving and dividing these plants in the fall will assure their healthy development the following year.

• Microgreens Harvested in a few of weeks, microgreens develop quickly. In the winter, they are ideal for indoor gardening.

Organizing and Getting Ready

• Garden Planning Make plans for your garden for the upcoming year throughout the winter. Plan your garden beds, place seed orders, and schedule plantings.
• Tool upkeep Make sure your garden tools are ready for spring by cleaning, sharpening, and repairing them.

General Advice for All Year Gardening.

Soil Health

• Composting Keep a mound of compost to turn garden waste and leftover food scraps into nutrient rich compost. Enhance the soil in your garden with this compost.
• Soil Testing Conduct routine soil tests to determine the pH and nitrogen levels in your soil. Adjust the soil as necessary to provide your plants the best possible growth conditions.

Watering 

• Consistent Watering Apply one inch of water to your garden on a weekly basis. The optimum time to water is in the morning to minimize evaporation and avoid illness.
