DON’T PLANT EVERYTHING AT ONCE…

... and once the danger of frosts has passed and your soil is reasonably dry and crumbly it’s safe to get going. Many say that Labour Day is the best time for planting the bulk of your vegetables. But don’t plant everything at once: successive plantings throughout spring will ensure a continuous supply of vegetables.

As the weather warms, so does the soil, and all activity in the garden starts to speed up. Reduce stress on young seedlings by ensuring they’re well-watered and weed-free and cover if there is a chance of frost. Mulching will help retain moisture and keep weeds to a minimum.
