hi I'm Brandt I'm a lifelong gardener
and these are my tips as to what
vegetables to grow when as the spring
starts warming up we can start thinking
about the plants and vegetables that
we're going to want to grow in our
garden for the spring and summer leading
off you can start early in the year
sometime in March with things such as
green beans zucchinis your very first
tomatoes and basil are gonna be fine in
the in the beginning and warming up part
of March when we get to April it's gonna
be a little bit warmer you can start
thinking about things like cucumbers
some early melons you can do lettuces
any of the sort of what you think of as
fall vegetables like broccoli
cauliflower kale you can still grow
those early in the spring before it gets
too hot so when May comes along now
we're starting to get a little more
cooking we can do peppers pumpkins big
squashes hard squashes that you'll save
for the winter months you can continue
to plant the beans the tomatoes and the
cucumbers you planted earlier you can
also start doing corn once it's warm
enough to germinate in the soil the corn
can come up and start growing as the
summer moves along continue to plant
your Tomatoes more more peppers things
that will continue to grow into the
summer and even into the beginning of
fall things that are like like greens
and lettuces as it gets warmer it's
gonna be too hot for them you're going
to want to find a shady spot if you're
going to grow some of these greens in
the summertime as the year progresses
and we start moving towards through
summer and towards the fall start
thinking about your your winter garden
you can grow broccoli cabbages
cauliflower kales brussel sprouts some
lettuces even onions these things you
want to get them started in the warmer
the last couple warm months of the year
August September great time to get these
plants started and then you're
harvesting them in the cool fall and
winter months get them established and
growing early with the heat of the
summer
then you can harvest them as the year
cools and slows down as we get into the
winter and fall months you can continue
planting lettuces greens it becomes time
to grow garlic typically garlic is
planted from the beginning of November
up until maybe even Christmas in places
that are not going to have a frost these
are plants you'll be harvesting them in
May the following year lately there's
been a resurgence of people connecting
to the natural world and part of that is
people are looking to the moon to be
their guide for planting here we have a
gardening by the moon calendar goes
through every day tells you what to do
to your garden for that day to take
advantage of the moon and the celestial
powers for instance as the moon is
waxing it's a great time to put in
transplants put new things into your
garden plant seeds on a full moon it's
recommended that you harvest your crop
the vegetables will be at their fullest
at their luscious during this time then
as the moon is waning as it is heading
towards the new moon tend your garden
weed cultivate fertilize take care of
your plants put them to bed when you
bring your plants home from the nursery
and you have them in your yard
consider the time of day when you plant
do not plant during the hottest time of
the day not at noon protect these little
guys keep them trying to minimize the
shock that they're going to go through
when they go from the from the nursery
container into your garden
choose a foggy morning choose a late
afternoon a cloudy day would be perfect
plant them later on in the day as the
Sun is setting this gives them until the
next noon almost a whole day to get
established and get themselves set up
before they get the full brunt of the
Sun I'm Brandt and this has been when to
plant vegetables
