What To Plant In Your Spring Garden

Spring is in the air and that means just one thing - planting a Spring Garden!

I don't know about you, but it is one of my favorite seasons!

Seed and plant catalogs have been poured over and. like last year, we will be doing quite a bit of square foot gardening and stepping up our composting. I am ready to get my hands dirty!

As you dive into planting your Spring Garden, there’s nothing quite like the excitement of preparing your space and setting it up for success. Just as you take care in selecting the best seeds and carefully planning your garden layout, it’s also important to think about how you’re going to protect and enhance the area.

Whether you’re looking to keep out curious pets, prevent wildlife from nibbling on your new plants, or simply add a little structure to your garden, a sturdy fence can make all the difference.

Here are some great ideas on what to plant in your spring garden this year.

Carrots

Start out with carrots and sow the seeds in a 12-24 inch space. Carrots grow fast and you can harvest them in as early as 21 days. One secret is to sow new seeds every week so that you have carrots growing and ready to eat each week! Grow a few different varieties from long and skinny to short and stumpy. You can even grow white, yellow, orange, and even purple carrots this year!

Spinach and Broccoli

Grow greens like spinach and broccoli together. Broccoli grows upright and you can harvest the baby shoots or grow a broccoli crown. Spinach grows close to the ground and produces new leaves each day. These two make a great companion planting combination. They both need nutrient-rich soil and like it kept evenly moist. Both spinach and broccoli need 6-8 hours of sunlight a day, so make sure to plant in a sunny location.

Swiss Chard

One of the prettiest vegetables to grow in the garden is definitely Swiss Chard. The stalks come in colors of white, red, orange, purple, and red. The stems and dark green glossy leaves are edible and easy to grow. Swiss Chard likes it more on the cooler side, but will continue to grow as the temperatures heat up.

Potatoes

Potatoes are not always the easiest to grow, but I love to grow fingerlings, red and purple potatoes. This year, I am trying the Lutovsky box where I can grow 100 pounds of potatoes in just four square feet! By layering the potatoes, this increases the yield that is produced in a small amount of space. Potatoes like it a bit on the warmer side and grow quite well throughout the summer months.
