Early Planting Cautions For Home Gardeners In Maryland
Home gardeners are warned against rushing the planting season even as spring signs appear. Soil readiness and frost risk dictate when to set out vegetables and flowers. Cool weather crops thrive when planted early, while frost sensitive varieties like tomatoes and peppers should wait until after frost danger passes.
