For early birds it’s time to get going with starting hardy vegetables indoors under shop lights on on on sunny window sills for transplanting into the garden during the first two weeks in April: Lettuce, Asian greens, Kohlrabi, parsley and good beets. Mid-month they can be put in a cold frame opening up space in the house for starting your seedlings for hot weather vegetables.
The last week or so of the month: radishes, spring turnips, carrots, beets, lettuce greens, peas and spinach and the like can be direct seeded in the garden.
During the second half of the month start: peppers and tomatoes for transplanting into the garden in late May.
Keep an eye on the weather forecast – planting times are flexible as is soil preparation that can be started mid-month or so.
