Brussels sprouts
If you want an early harvest, plant Brussels sprouts now. This crop thrives in cool weather and will provide you with tasty bushes in midsummer.
Pears
Bare-root pear trees are also great to plant in March, as this is the last month of their dormant period. They will become an excellent element of garden decor and will bring you a lot of tasty pleasure in the future. It is important to choose moist and well-drained soil for them.
Pea
Early spring creates ideal conditions for sowing peas, while the temperature has not yet exceeded comfortable limits for this crop. When planting, it is important to create optimal conditions. Dig a wide trench 4cm deep and place the peas in two rows 15cm apart. Provide support for plants so they can develop properly.
