When to Plant this Spring
This weekend I was given this list from a friend who uses it every year. No, it is not advice from a professional farmer but from a passionate home gardener. I have seen her vegetable and flower gardens… most impressive.
SO HERE IS WHEN TO PLANT
PEAS - when forsythia blooms
POTATOES - when the first dandelion blooms
BEETS, CARROTS and COLE CROPS - when lilac is in first leaf
CORN - when white oak leaves are the size of squirrel’s ears
BEANS, CUCUMBER & SQUASH - when lilac is in full bloom
TOMATOES - when lily-of-the-valley blooms
EGGPLANT, MELONS, & PEPPER PLANTS - when irises bloom
Some of these things have already happened. I better get my plants this weekend at the market!
