The frost season is over, so it’s game on for planting. I personally planted 25 tomatoes Wednesday for clients.
Now it is time to plant, or replant if some of your fruits and vegetables were frozen. I did have to replant a few peppers and one squash today. Take a look at the following list for items to plant now and how much space they need.
Happy gardening, and remember to plant your tomatoes deep. A handful of worm casting and dash of alfalfa in the hole goes a long way.
