Growing Season!

It is almost time to shake off those winter blues and dive headfirst into the glorious era of spring gardening. March is the perfect time to begin sowing seeds and planting all sorts of greenery.

March is prime time for getting your vegetable garden off to a roaring start. Roll out the green carpet for veggies such as lettuce, kale, and spinach. As it gets warmer sow crops like tomatoes, peppers and squash indoors, and your taste buds will be doing a happy dance at harvest time.

We know spring is about flowers, and March is the perfect month to plant those eye-popping beauties. Start sowing annual seeds like marigolds, sunflowers, and zinnias, or plant bulbs for dazzling dahlias. Also, consider cold-hardy grasses or dramatic perennials like coneflowers for visual impact.

In March, it is also a great time to begin sowing for aromatic herbs like basil, parsley, cilantro, and chives. Your culinary creations will be the talk of the town (or at least at the family dinner.)

While your at it, why not turn your garden into a fruit filled paradise? March also a perfect time to plant fruit trees like apricots, peaches, and plums, or berry bushes like raspberries and blackberries. You’ll be basking in the sweet, juicy rewards of your labor.

Give your garden a local touch by planting native California plants. March is an ideal time to start sowing seeds for drought tolerant beauties like poppies, lupines, and sagebrush. Not only will you create a stunning low-maintenance landscape, but also provide habitat for local wildlife!

March is the perfect month to begin a fantastic growing season. With a mix of veggies, herbs, flowers, fruits, and foliage, you’ll create a stunningly diverse landscape that is pleasing to the eye and palate. So embrace your inner gardener, have fun, and let the March planting madness begin!
