March is a good month in my climate, the last frost would be from the 11th to the 20th of March. So, at the beginning of March, that’s sufficient time to get most of the seeds started. Some things we can sew directly in the ground in March and some we can start indoor or in the polytunnel. I have a lovely seed organizer, previously my seeds were all over the place. So, this is just a DVD case and then when you open it up, it has all these sections. This is such a good organizer; you can put a card with the months of the year. To organise the sections, for different seed according to months. Then you have your seeds all organized and lovely. I cannot take credit for it, because I was watching a fellow YouTuber called turf therapy, he had it and so I am kidnapping the idea. Sometimes when you open the seeds, they get all over the place. So, to have a nice organizer like this then it is good.

Planting Brassicas in March

March is a good month so most of your brassicas, cabbage, and cauliflower all those things you can start sowing now because they need the length of time. So, you can start harvesting in late summer, autumn, you can have all your brassicas in. So, if you have not got your kale and your cauliflower and your Brussels sprouts and all those things in, it’s the ideal time to get them in now.

How to Plant Onions

If you are starting your onion from seed this is like the last month where you can start your onions from seed because the onion does require a lot of time if you have missed last months what to sow video, when I was mentioning all the onions and other vegetables to plant in this season, you can have look on the channel. Go for the onion set and start onion instead, because that gives them sufficient time to mature.

Vegetable Variety To Plant In March

You can go outside, and you can direct sow your broad bean you can direct sow some sweet peas. You can also do some lettuce mix directly outside. Last week I sewed some carrots directly outside. I have a couple of potatoes in a container in the polytunnel as well. So, I already have things in the ground, so it is such a lovely month. And it is almost spring so and I am in the garden. I have not been in the gardening doing the video for a while and I am in a T-Shirt and its freezing. But the weather is warming up. So, it depends on the varieties of things you intend to plant, for example, I have this sweet corn which I have started. And the advice is to plant it between March and May, so I will be getting sweet corn this year.

Sowing and Planting Comfrey

I have been direct sowing some comfreys into the garden also. So, you know comfrey is used as a natural fertilizer so, I will not put these in pots and then transplant I am going to direct sow these in this month. With my sweet corn though, because they are still predicting some cold nights. When I sow these I will be covering them over with clear plastic to mimic the greenhouse scenario until it sprouts.

Timing your March Planting and Sowing Project

Because you still must have a bit of caution we are in the UK, and March can be a freezing month so not to put you off, but you must have caution otherwise you will find that you sow your seeds they sprouted too quickly and then you have to re-sow again and waste your seeds.

So, there is still cautious for certain things and remember I have been saying this for the last two months. If you have not started your peppers, sweet pepper, and hot pepper. Whatever varieties you need to get those in. In previous months I have sown loads of carrots, so I had two lots of carrots as well. One set was sown last week and then I also had a lot of tomatoes that were started indoors.

How to Plant Your Tomatoes In March/Late Winter

Those were mostly baby tomatoes, but this month is the month to plant all your tomatoes. I planted some Roma last month as well and I think I planted some beef, so this month is good for starting any tomato you want. Please start planting all your tomatoes, so whatever tomato go for it.

How to Plant Okra In March

Then I’ll be doing some okra some ladies finger all excited I tried this last year unfortunately it did not work for me. I think the mistake I made was I went to the local shop bought these but they weren’t mature enough so the seeds weren’t at the level to germinate so I went, and I saw some online and these should be mature seeds, so that I can have some okra this summer.

These Okra vegetables are nice and smooth, if you do not like the slime texture or the taste of it just put it in your smoothie, you will be getting all the nutrients without the taste of it. So have a go at growing some okra this year. Basically, all your main summer crops you can start sewing them, isn’t that lovely?

How to Plant Beans

I have just sewn some butter bean today, so these are some organic butter beans. Last year I had loads of butter bean to harvest from just one vine. I planted several butter beans plants, but some of them did not make it. Only one plant survived, and I had three harvests from the one vine. So I was so happy, get your beans in you can get your French bean your dwarf beans you can start sewing those as well.

Planting Carrots, Tomatoes, Butternut Squash and Pumpkins

Different carrots and things just make sure look at them because some carrots are ideal for late winter, early spring.

Planting Courgettes in March

All those things in my handy folder I can just go through bit by bit and the seeds are all organized lovely. Make sure the courgettes, your eggplants are all in. And remember as I said previously those need the extended period so they can be nice and sturdy before the weather change so you can have a good crop before your short summer period expires. And with courgettes, you can grow them every two-succession planting.

Because I know they get powdery mildew and sometimes courgettes are not the best for our weather because we get a lot of rain. So, I would advise you to sew courgettes, every two weeks. Remember I mentioned all the brassicas all those things it can be all year round. Also, cauliflower any variety make sure you are sowing them now that it is almost spring. I have different types of cabbages experiments going now also.

Any type of radish just start with those now. This is a good one for most of your main crop but remember look at the zone that you are in. There is a website where you can type in your postcode or just the area that you are living in and it will give you a rough idea of when your last frost date will be.

Because we do not want to waste these, they are expensive and preciously done so make sure you plant according to the season you are in. So, your winter gem I have sown from January, so these are coming up nicely as well. I think I will do another set because they are nice in a salad.
