Early Garden Planting Advice For Home Gardeners
February is the recommended start for cabbage and lettuce plants with sown seeds in rows two inches apart. A soil mix of sand, garden soil, and well rotted manure yields good results at the State College school. Plant timings vary by crop from January to March, with celery and peppers sown mid March and tomato seeds best kept to March.
