Rain, slush, or beautiful powder snow? March weather often swings wildly. Luckily, it's still possible to get a head start on spring, because when the light returns, it's time to start putting seeds in the soil.
Spring is on its way, and the light is growing stronger by the day. Now is truly the time to start pre-cultivating both vegetables and flowers. Out in the garden, you can also get started with the hardiest plants.
Finally! Sun, warmth, and budding sprouts. Now spring is truly here, and you can sow plenty of greens directly into pots and beds. If you want to harvest a lot this summer, you should get as much as possible in the ground now.
The delightful early summer is here, the days are getting warmer, and the garden is in full swing. Now, you can sow most vegetables directly in the ground, and as long as the frost nights stay away, plants that have been pre-cultivated indoors can be planted out in the open.

Gray or snowy? November can bring different weather, from place to place and year to year. Regardless, there is a lot that can be done in the garden. How about preparing for spring grafting of apple and pear trees, or taking winter cuttings? In addition, in some places you can still harvest seeds, divide perennials, plant new ones, autumn sow or prepare for winter sowing.
Christmas is approaching, and gardening may seem far away. But for those who yearn, there is always something to sow and plant. Summarize this year's efforts in the garden and plan for the coming season.
