What to Plant Now: April 10-15

Picture
We are about to pass the first quarter and the moon is now waxing gibbous going into a full moon. Now is also a time to seed-in plants that fruit and seed like beans, corn, melons, and squash. You can still transplants tomatoes, eggplants, tomatillos, and peppers. It is still a good time to plant nut and fruit trees including citrus, and berry bushes and grape vines. It’s always best to try to transplant and seed-in with the coming rains. Which is coming up next week. 

Many of the varieties of seeds are associated with the three sisters or #milpa agriculture system we learned about last year with our special guest Sam from Oaxaca, Mexico. You can 
watch it on our YouTube channel.

If you haven’t gotten your corn in, this is the last chance to get it in. You can learn more about milpa and also learn about the three sisters square foot garden we are growing at @zilkerbotanical.
