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.
Marigolds
Calendula officinalis, also known as marigolds, is a great option for quick and easy growing. Sow the seeds under cover now, in March, and you will enjoy their beauty until the end of spring.
Raspberries
Don't forget about raspberries. Bare root bushes can only be planted during the dormant season, so March is the best time to do this. Grow them in well-drained soil and be sure to provide adequate irrigation during the dry season.
With these tips, you can make the most of this spring to create a fruitful garden or vegetable garden. Don't miss the chance and start your summer cottage production now. By the way, we recently told you which plants need to be pruned in March.
