If you’re thinking about wanting to do some gardening in the spring but don’t know what to plant, here are some ideas of what you can plant that are great to grow during this time of year. The best types of plants are going to be spring–blooming flowers, cool–weather vegetables, and some warm–season crops. Spring flowers include Daffodils, Tulips, Primrose, Azaleas, Peonies, Dahlias, Marigolds and so many more. Flowers like Petunias are good flowers to plant during this time because they are fast growing. Some good vegetables you can grow this spring are leafy greens like lettuce, spinach, arugula and kale. Some other veggies are radishes, carrots, peas, beets, broccoli and cauliflower. All these crops thrive best during early spring because they cool weather crops.

Some other crops you can grow later in spring that like the warmer temperature are tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, beans and corn. All these wonderful options are perfect for spring planting. Spring is the start of the growing season, allowing plants to create roots and grow before the heat of summer. During spring, spring often brings rain making moist soil which is ideal for planting. Knowing how to take care of your plants is essential to keep them growing. Most plants need at least 6 hours of sunlight, and some need partial shade so do research on the plants you’re planning to plant.
