Sweetwater Garden - Planting Guide

When do I Plant What?

Annuals
  • Early Crops: ( Mid March through early May)
  • Root Vegetables --- Late March, early April (Beets, carrots, radishes, onion sets, potatoes, turnips etc)
  • Peas --- Mid-March (St. Patrick's Day). Includes Sweet Peas!
  • Cole Crops --- Mid to late April (Cabbage, kale, broccoli, spinach, lettuce etc)
  • Pansies --- Any time from mid March on, they will have to be protected from hard frosts (below 30 degrees)
  • Petunias --- Early to mid May, protect from hard frosts.
  • Late Crops ---- After May 20th... but it's always a gamble
  • All annual flowers
  • Heat loving vegetables (Tomatoes, peppers, squash, pumpkins, corn, etc)
  • For early birds there are ways to fool Mother Nature. Use clear plastic to warm soil temperature prior to planting. Use floating row covers to protect from late frost.
Perennials
  • Potted perennials --- plant these any time when the ground is not frozen or too wet.
  • Roots, tubers, and bulbs --- Varies, best to consult planting instructions.
  • Seed --- Varies, consult seed packages.
Trees & Shrubs
  • Container trees & shrubs --- Any time when the ground is not frozen. Spring and fall are ideal.
  • Ball and Burlap (B&B)--- Same as container trees.
