March is one of the most important planting months in the garden — but what you should plant right now depends entirely on your climate.
Plant the wrong crops too early and you can set your garden back weeks.
In this video I’ll show you 23 must plant vegetables for March no matter where you garden.
And at the end I’ll show you a simple raised bed layout trick I use to keep plants from shading each other and keep the whole bed productive.
🌱 In This Video:
• What to plant in March by climate
• Cool-season crops that thrive now
• Warm-season crops to wait on
• A simple raised-bed layout for bigger harvests

My garden feels like summer! It’s too hot for the lettuce already, but I’m trying. 🙂
Since I'm in texas I'm starting my tomatoes and using my smartpots for that and since you made that new raised bed I feel like making me one
Oh my god watching and paying attention to all the tips, then I saw Mac for a moment I forgot he is not, then I got sad 🥺😭, sorry and yes I did finished the video 🙏🏻🐾🐾🐾💕
Gardening in Florida, planting tomatoes, eggplants, roselle & peppers this weekend. Too hot already for brassicas. In fact, my broccoli started to bolt & flower. Cabbage also started to flower, which is a first for me. Very cool to see.💚
You look nice today 😊
Our temps are warming up so much here in SoCal and I was hoping to still have time to plant radishes. I’ll get some peppers started out side in trays bcuz our temps are that warm!!! Thanks for all you two do🥰
Am I trippin or was there a Mac sighting in the herb clip? 🥴 They wanted to make my tax apt. Monday at noon! I made them change it to 3pm. We're def. well past frost up here in the 831
I saw the frame with Mac flash by, and my heart leapt to my throat. What a good boy! I'm sure you miss him. I can't wait to see how this raised bed grows up this summer!
How exciting it is to see you already planting tomatoes! 🤗 I’m inspired and need to get my beds ready. Love your information and energy! Happy Gardening Kim and CG ☀️🌻🐝💛
Keeping us active and healthy ❤🙇🏻♀️💐
