Getting the Veggie Garden Started
We planted one 6-pack of mixed lettuce and one 6-pack of kale in a container this week.
Here are a few of the veggie garden crops that can be planted NOW: Cabbage, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Brussel Sprouts, Lettuce, Onions, Potatoes. You’ll want to wait at least another two weeks to plant tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, melons, and zucchini. Our average last frost is the middle of May, and some old-timers still wait until after Memorial Day. If the warm season crops are planted now in containers, then be sure to protect them from frost.
