What to plant in the spring?

20 marzo 2019

Spring, season of nature's rebirth, is the perfect time to plant certain varieties of trees, fruits, flowers, and vegetables. Take a look at tips and tricks for success at this fundamental stage.

Green thumb

Having a green thumb is not a given for everyone. We have to recognize that some people are more talented at gardening than others.

Indeed, there are a lot of things to know: varieties, planting periods for this or that type of plants, fruits, or vegetables, and their special needs.

The garden

Spring means working in the garden to be able to harvest fruits and vegetables during the summer. Before planting your garden, there are certain tasks to be done, such as taking care of plants and trees by removing dead branches or preparing the soil.

For your garden, don’t hesitate to plant very early. February-March is a good time. Indeed, some vegetables such as onions and radishes are very good at withstanding negative temperatures. However, you need to wait until May to start planting tomato plants, strawberries, and zucchini.

For trees and shrubs, if you plant them in the spring or summer, be sure to water them well in the first year or they risk drying out quickly.

Repotting

Spring is also the perfect season for repotting indoor plants. This can be done every year and requires choosing a larger pot than the previous one so that the roots can grow properly.

The effects of the moon

Just like the sun, the moon can do a lot of good for your garden. Some gardening enthusiasts believe in the influence of the moon on crops and respect these cycles. They may sow tomatoes under a rising moon, plant rose bushes while the moon waxes, and prune lilacs under a descending moon. So, to your rakes!!
