With the growing season fast approaching, here’s some tips to help get you going. For Peas, it’s best to prepare pea planting beds in the fall for a head start. Turn over the soil, add aged manure, and mulch well. In the early spring, when soil temps are at least 40°F, pull back the mulch and make holes with a dibble, if necessary, to get your seeds into the ground. A blanket of snow won’t hurt emerging pea plants, but several days of freezing temperatures could; cover , if necessary. Add more seeds later if you discover spaces where some seeds did not germinate. image

With the growing season fast approaching, here’s some tips to help get you going! For carrots, turn over the soil to a depth of about 6 inches and remove and stones or rocks. Plant seeds 3 to 5 weeks before the last spring frost. Set seeds 3 to 4 inches apart in rows at least 1 foot apart. When seedlings are 1 inch tall, thin with scissors (do not pull) to 3 inches. Water at least 1 inch per week! image

With the growing season fast approaching, here’s some tips to help get you going. For lettuce, about 1 week before spring planting, till to loosen soil and mix in compost. Clumps reduce seed germination. Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep in rows 12 to 15 inches apart. Thin based on type: leaf, 4 inches apart; loose headed, 8 inches apart; firm headed, 16 inches apart. Water thoroughly. Sow every 2 weeks for a continuous harvest throughout the growing season image

With the growing season fast approaching, here’s some tips to help get you going. Harden off tomato plants for two weeks before planting. When soil temps reach about 55°F, transplant seedlings into the garden in deep holes, so that the first set of true leaves rests on top of the soil. Roots will form along the underground stem portion and create a sturdier plant. Establish tomato stakes or cages to give the plants support at the time of planting. Staking keeps developing fruit off the ground while caging allows the plant to hold themselves upright. Water generously for the first few days to reduce shock to roots, then give the plants about 2 inches of water per week in the summer. Keep the watering consistent! image
