Plan your garden on paper
Decide on raised beds, containers, boxes, etc.
Order, or locally purchase seeds, preferably heirloom quality, Non GMO.
Start frost-hardy beans, spinach, kale, parsley, peas, arugula, broccoli, and more in Jiffy trays. Egg cartons will suffice with a seed starting soil but they don’t allow much headroom.
Seed Potatoes can be started 2nd-3rd week in March.
Shop for soils, mulches, Diatomaceous Earth (natural bug deterrent), Epsom Salts (good fertilizer!), vinegar and ammonia (more info to come).
More next time!
