Today, I want to visit about spring planting succession or when we can
typically plant our vegetables. This depends on the type of vegetable.
With broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, onions, peas, potatoes, radishes,
spinach and turnips, we would want to get that seed, set or tuber in
the ground about 4 weeks before the date of the average last frost.
Know red beets, carrots, mustard, parsnips, swiss chard and sweet corn
should be planted about two weeks ahead of the last expected frost for
your area.
Frost sensitive vegetables like
eggplant, peppers, sweet potatoes, beans, tomatoes, squash, cucumbers,
and melons should be planted a week or more after the date of average
last frost. You can check with your local Extension Office for average
frost free dates.
