Best Things to Plant in the Early Spring
Creating a beautiful lawn and garden in the spring means planning today! Having a vision for your lawn is the first step to creating it. Spring will be here before you know it so let’s get started!
The three best things to plant for the spring include:
Peas
Herbs
Broccoli
Peas
This is one of the best cool-weather crops. The seeds will germinate in soil temperatures as low as 40 degrees and pea plants can tolerate even being snowed on. Peas come in all shapes and sizes from snow peas and sugar snap peas to peas you shell and eat. Peas can thrive in a variety of climates making them perfect for the spring. Spring brings rain, sun, wind, and even snow but peas will continue to grow!
Herbs
Herbs are any plant with leaves, seeds, or flowers used for flavoring food, medicine, and even perfume! Herbs have a variety of benefits that include coming back year after year and flourishing in the spring! The most common herbs used in cooking are parsley, mint, and oregano. Many recipes call for these herbs or you can add them to any of your favorite dishes! Herbs are easy to find, easy to use, and perfect for the spring!
Broccoli
Broccoli is a cool-weather crop that doesn't grow in the summer heat, making it the perfect spring vegetable. It can also be planted and enjoyed in the fall. For spring planting, plant 2 weeks before the last frost; for a fall harvest, plant in the summer once the heat subsides. Broccoli can be eaten raw or cooked and even combined with herbs! It is a healthy snack, appetizer, and side dish!
