Gardening Notes from 2013

Sugar snap peas - Sow directly in soil March 1.  Sow them close together -- they can grow densely crowded together.

Lettuce - Sow directly in soil March 1. Will tolerate freezing temps.

Purple cabbage/green cabbage - Sow directly in soil March 1.Will tolerate freezing temps. If planted too late, won't have time to produce cabbages before it gets too hot.

Broccoli -- Try again but plant March 1. May not have produced florets in the past because they may have been planted too late.

Lettuces, chard, spinach, greens - Sow directly in soil March 1. Will tolerate freezing temps.

Tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, zucchini - wait to plant until after Mother's Day.  2013 saw freezing temps at night into May.
