March is a tempting month for gardeners, the average daily temperature will rise 10 degrees by months end. Here’s a list of chores that will keep your garden thriving till that first frost :
- Don’t let weeds get the best of you, last years unattended weeds, you will be facing them hundreds of times over, so later this year pull them and lots of spray.
- Make sure your tomatoe seeds are planted now for your first harvest in June, this is when most gardeners are putting their plants in the ground, I’m ready to start harvesting.
- Daily harvesting is essential and add calcium to you soils, a perfect and naturally effective product to use is gypsum, should be applied in the fall, so correct last years problem.
- Bagonias are well suited for containers, they are my favorites, give them three months of pampered indoor growth.
