By the way
Many crops need to be sown before the end of March to get an early harvest. Of course, not in open ground, but for seedlings. Flowers, vegetables and herbs that need an early start include:
Flowers – petunia, verbena, marigolds, night violet, sweet peas and tobacco, allisum, marigolds, Chinese cloves, verbena. It’s time to put dahlia tubers and gladioli bulbs in a box with sawdust – with the onset of heat, they need to be planted in a flower bed.
Tomatoes – low and medium-sized varieties.
Bell pepper – in an amicable way, it had to be sown at the end of February, as they germinate for a long time.
Eggplant – before sowing, the seeds must be soaked for 2-3 days.
Cabbage – it should be sown no earlier than March 15, now is the time for cabbage.
Carrots – it is better to sow it in paper boxes so as not to injure the seedlings during transplantation.
Celery, onion, spinach, Chinese cabbage
Greens and radishes – they are considered frost-resistant, so at the very end of March they can be sown directly into the ground, if the weather permits.
