What to Plant in the Vegetable Garden in March?

March marks the return of spring and the start of planting in the garden. With temperatures still cool, some crops can be sown directly in the ground, while others require protection under cover. Here’s a guide to what you can plant in March to ensure a successful harvest this season.

Vegetables to Plant in March

✅ Directly in the ground:

Radishes, spinach, carrots, peas, lettuce.
These vegetables are resistant to cool temperatures and germinate quickly.

✅ Under cover (greenhouse, tunnel, or cold frame):

Tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, basil.
These plants need warmth to grow well and should be protected from the cold.

✅ Bulbs & tubers:

Potatoes, garlic, onions, shallots.
These crops are perfect for starting in early spring and will be ready to harvest in the coming months.

🌿 Tips for Successful Planting

✔ Protect young seedlings from frost with a garden fleece.
✔ Enrich the soil with compost to promote plant growth.
✔ Stagger your sowing to enjoy continuous harvests throughout the season.

By preparing your garden in March, you’ll ensure bountiful harvests in the months ahead!
