Spring Gardening

for anybody who has been waiting for me to put up a new post, I'm so sorry for all delays!

I found an interesting article about growing vegetables and thought I would share this healthy and rewarding information with you. These are all planting from seeds. Although some of these say to plant before or just past the last frost, it's not too late!

Bell Peppers:

Carrots:

Sow directly in garden 2-3 weeks before the last expected frost.

Lima Beans:

Plant approx. 2 weeks after date of the last frost

Water: Soil should have good drainage and must be kept moist, but not soaked.
