April 1st, and it is an absolutely GORGEOUS DAY here in beautiful southeastern Wisconsin. The urge to start planting is in the air. But hold on............. the average frost free date in southeastern Wisconsin is not until the first week in May! A good time to work on getting the compost pile going again. Or, if you are really ambitions - cleaning out the shed!!
This glorious 1st week of April is the time to sow seeds indoors of broccoli, early cabbage, cauliflower, celery, eggplant, and head lettuce. Even peppers can be sown from seed indoors now, too. But hold off a week or so on the tomatoes.
If you are ahead of the game, you can begin the process of hardening-off vegetable and flower seedlings that will be transplanted outside later this month; like your broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, head lettuce, onions, and parsley. Begin by placing flats in a shaded place protected from the wind. Gradually increase their daily exposure to sun and wind.
If you need any Raised Bed Garden Kits, now is the time to order. Remember, you will need to locate your "bed" in it's ideal location, and fill it with soil. Time waits for no man..................!!
An investment you will enjoy for YEARS and YEARS. www.RaisedBedGardenKits.com
Have a BLESSED EASTER!
