Shop In Your Own Backyard Pt.2

It’s the perfect time to kick off your cold-tolerant veggie planting! As the ground warms up and the risk of a hard freeze fades, you can start growing (from seed) cool-season vegetables like spinach, arugula, mustard greens, and peas directly in your garden beds. These hardy crops thrive in early spring temperatures and are quick to establish, giving you a head start on a delicious, homegrown harvest.

 
Spinach and mustard greens are both resilient leafy greens that can be harvested young for tender baby leaves or left to mature for fuller, heartier bunches. Peas—whether you’re growing snap, snow, or shelling varieties—love the cooler weather and will happily climb with a bit of support. Sow seeds in well-drained soil and keep them consistently moist while they germinate. With just a little care, your spring garden will be thriving in no time!
