Vegetables to Plant in March
March is the perfect time to start sowing several different types of vegetable seeds. For some other vegetable or flower seeds, it is more ideal to wait until after the last spring frost to plant. But if you want to start planting today, consider the following vegetables and some of their benefits:
- Beets: Packed with healthy antioxidants and phytochemicals
- Broccoli: Ideal to plant in March if you live in a warmer climate
- Spinach: Packed with vitamins, fiber and protein – this cool weather vegetable is perfect to plant in March! It will grow the fastest in well-drained soil rich in organic matter like compost.
- Cabbage: Simple growth! Be sure to choose a variety that suits the space you have available in your garden, and don’t forget to fertilize and water when you notice the cabbage head forming.
- Corn: If you haven’t got a lot of space, start with a small stalk. Corn grows super fast and can be enjoyed just moments after being pulled off the stalk.
- Onions: If you love to cook with onions, they are a wise and resourceful choice to include in your garden. Be sure to select an onion variety that suits your garden space and region.
- Peppers: Similarly, if you enjoy eating peppers they are a rewarding vegetable to plant in March. They require little space to plant and tend to yield even better results when planted in close quarters with other pepper varieties.
