March Garden Kickstart

The snow may still be falling or melting (especially here in Canada), but this is the most important month to set your garden up for success.

Here’s your simple March plan:

1. Start These Indoors

   •   Tomatoes

   •   Peppers

   •   Onions

   •   Broccoli

   •   Cabbage

Start them in seed trays with good light — not just a sunny window. Check out my article on caring for your Seedlings

2. Direct Sow (If Soil Is Workable)

   •   Lettuce

   •   Peas

   •   Radishes

   •   Carrots

Cool-season crops LOVE chilly soil.

3. Wake Up Your Soil

   •   Add compost

   •   Loosen compacted areas

   •   Remove leftover debris

   •   Avoid walking on wet soil

Healthy soil = healthy vegetables. Learn more about Soil preparation

March Mistake to Avoid

Tomatoes and cucumbers will NOT tolerate frost. Patience now saves heartbreak later.

Your Simple Win This Month

They sprout fast, grow quickly, and give you that early gardening confidence boost.

Happy planting,
