March Garden Chores 2017

Here are the various things I will be doing in my garden this month!


  1. To prepare the soil for spring planting I will lightly till and add organic matter to improve soil structure.
  2. I will plant, potatoes, peas, onions, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage thru late March.
  3. I will plant asparagus and add more strawberry plants to my strawberry patch.
  4. I will start tomato, peppers and other warm season vegetables inside.
  5. I will start flower seeds inside for transplanting to the garden.
  6. I will sharpen and repair my garden tools.
  7. After the night temperatures stay above 60, I will move some of the houseplants outside for the spring.
