Weekly Gardening Post: I am sharing a seed planting schedule with you so you will be reminded when it is time to plant your various seeds. I had big plans to plant my own garden this year, but it is just not going to happen. We had several sprinklers break and we are in the middle of a huge remodel. So my hubs does not have time or energy to repair sprinklers. Teardrop. :’( There is only one week left of planting and then you should have everything planted in your gardens.

My Garden Progress: The last few weeks I have been sharing my gardening plan.  If you live in the Northern States April is the time to plant cabbage, cauliflower, turnips, potatoes and radishes. (Warmer states can plant now if you have not already.) The weather turned cold and rainy last week so I was not motivated to plant peas in my garden last week. I am hoping to plant my peas in the garden and start my cilantro in a pot this week.

This week: The first week of April you should plant cabbage, cauliflower, turnips, potatoes and radishes outdoor.

Next week it will be time to plant: 

  • beets

Be sure to get yours seeds, these are great prices…

My Garden Progress: The last few weeks I have been sharing my gardening plan.  If you live in the Northern States April is the time to plant Peas, Spinach and Lettuce. (Warmer states can plant now if you have not already.) My cucumbers (which I planted too early) and tomatoes are coming right along. You can see the progress in the picture.

Gardening: Planting Seeds Indoor In March

Time to Plant Tomatoes, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Okra and Peppers!

when to plant seedlings

Last week I started planting my garden indoor. If you live in the Northern States March is the time to plant Cabbage, Tomatoes, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Okra and Peppers. (Warmed states can plant now if you have not already.) Last week I planted my tomatoes. My kids and I have sure enjoyed watching them germinate.

I got a little over zealous and planted my cucumber last week too. Technically you are supposed to wait until the first week of May for cucumber. I may have to get some advice from one of my expert gardener friends about keeping the cucumber from getting all spindly and stuff. If you have not planted anything yet it is not too late.

This week: The last week of March you should plant Okra indoor and Onion outdoor. And if you haven’t already plant your Cabbage, Tomatoes, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Okra and Peppers.

To plant your seeds indoor you will need:

Next week it will be time to plant:

Gardening question: I will be planting Peas next week. I decided not to plant lettuce this year for two reasons. First we only have so much garden space and we had to narrow our selection down to 8 plants. Second my lettuce  always seems to taste bitter. I am probably planting the wrong variety. What variety of lettuce do you recommend for gardening?

Gardening: Planting Seedlings Indoor In March

Time to Plant Tomatoes, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Okra and Peppers!

when to plant seedlings

 

Gardening is a frugal thing to do. It is so wonderful to have fresh produce in your own back yard. Every year we plant a garden in our yard. Usually we just wait until after frost and plant everything at the same time. This year I thought we would be a little more strategic and plant our seeds according to the recommendations.

I am planting my tomatoes this week. March is also the time to plant Cabbage, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Okra and Peppers if you live in the Northern United States. If you are in a central area you will want to wait until April. If you are in the south you can plant before March. So if you have not yet, do it now!

To plant your seeds now you will need:

So go forth and plant your first seedlings and I will let you know when it is time to plant more vegetables.

How to Freeze Peaches

I love peaches!  One of my favorite things to do with my fresh peaches is to freeze them.  Freezing them seems to preserve that fresh flavor of the peach and frozen peaches are great to throw into a smoothie or thaw quickly for a desert, pancake topper, or quick snack!

Freezing peaches is just as easy (if not easier) than canning them.

Step 1 – Start with Fresh Peaches

Tree-ripened peaches, available locally at farmer’s markets and orchard stands, will be tastier than commercial-variety peaches that are usually picked before they’re ripe.  Select Freestone peaches that are in season from late July through September. They are much easier to pit than clingstone varieties.

How to Freeze Zucchini

{Pin This}

If you grew even one plant of Zucchini you probably have so much you don’t know what to do with it all (I do).  One of the best ways to preserve Zucchini is to freeze it.  It is SUPER quick and easy to freeze and has many different uses.  You can cut it up and use it in stir fry or kabobs. or shred it and use it in Zucchini  Bread, lasagna, egg dishes and more.

 Freezing Sliced Zucchini

1.  Fill a large stockpot three quarters of the way full with water and heat to a  boil on the stove top.
