When to Plant Vegetables / When to Plant a Vegetable Garden?
Seeds are available almost everywhere from your grocery and hardware stores, to gardening centers and seed distribution centres. They can be ordered over the internet directly with seed companies. For the greatest variety and special criteria ex. Organic or locally grown, consult a garden centre or the internet to meet your needs. Why not try exciting new varieties that differ from your usual grocery store fare such as purple radishes or string beans, heirloom tomatoes or cayenne peppers. Also, consider planting some herb varieties to tempt your palate. Some plants will need to be started indoors or to have seedlings purchased at a greenhouse. Some plants such as lettuce and corn are best sown every 2 weeks to ensure a steady supply. These general guidelines can be adapted to your specific area, based on your vegetables of choice and your frost dates. These are for direct seed sowing in the soil. Other vegetables can be grown by starting seeds indoors to prolong the growing season.
