‎4 weeks before your average last frost date is a good time to get your herb seed started indoors. Mustard seed can now be direct sown into the garden. You should also start hardening off your cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts plants. Hardening requires your plants to be moved outside into a spot that is sheltered from direct sun and wind for 2 hours per day, do this 4-7 days before transplanting.

5 weeks before your average last frost date is a good time start your tomato seed and basil seed indoors. It is also time to transplant the leek plants you started indoors out into the garden. If you already have your seed potatoes, now is the earliest you should plant them. Check out our video on how to plant seed potatoes. Weeding the garden should also be a priority this week as you get ready all the action!

6 weeks before your average last frost date you should move your onion transplants into the garden. It is also time to divide your rhubarb crowns and replant. Seeds that can be direct sown outside are lettuce, swiss chard, kale, endive, carrot, radish, beet, turnip, kohlrabi, and parsnip. Seeding is easy when using one of our garden seeders!

7 weeks before your average last frost date you should move your leek, onion, and lettuce starts from indoors out into your cold frame to harden them off before planting into your garden. It is also a good time to sow your carrot, beet, leaf lettuce, pea and spinach seeds into your garden soil. If you grew a cover crop, this is a good week to turn them under.

8 weeks before your average last frost date you should think about sowing your parsnip seed into your garden soil (if it is workable), remove some of the mulch on your strawberry plants (if they are showing signs of new growth), check your earlier indoor starts for first set of true leaves; transplant into larger pots when that happens, and fertilizer any asparagus that is already planted in your garden.

I work on an organic farm and we currently have Chandlers and Sweet Charlies growing right now. I have to say, Chandlers are some of the best tasting strawberries I have ever had. I am anxious to try a Sweet Charlie.

I appreciate this information being out there. =)
