Ready, Steady SOW!

The time has arrived.  We've held off long enough.  The question I hear most from friends is...when can I start sowing my garden.

Well Michelle, it is time!



Here is a GREAT video from Siskiyou Seeds, which is located Williams in Josephine County.  I purchase their seeds at the Co-Op in Grants Pass. Don Tipping walks us through what we can sow now in Mid April.

What Seeds can be planted in Mid-April in the Pacific Northwest

To summarize:

Root Crops - Carrots, radish, beets, onions

Greens - Lettuce, arugula, Chinese cabbage, mesculin mix, kale, chard and spinach

Broccoli, Cabbage, Cauliflower

Herbs like Basil and Cilantro

Peas love the cool spring weather.

Sow indoors:  tomatoes, Peppers, Zucchini and cucumbers.

If you're adventurous, try a first sowing of beans.  If they fail you have time to sow again in May.

Happy sowing....comment below if you have questions.
