What to Plant Now: April 7 - 13

4/6/2023

Picture
We just passed the Full Pink Moon, the Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, the Fish Moon, the Paschal Moon, Hanuman Jayanti, Bak Poya, and a Supermoon. So many interpretations of the full moon around the world.

We are now going into a waning period of the Moon—from the day after it is full to the day before it is new again. As the moonlight decreases night by night, plants are encouraged to grow roots, tubers, and bulbs. It’s always best to try to plant with the coming rains which are in the forecast. 
Click on the links to get growing information and best varieties from Texas A&M Extension and other sources. 

DIRECT SEED 
  • Beets
  • Peanuts
  • Jicama

TRANSPLANT
  • Ginger 
  • Horseradish
  • Purple Yam/Ube
  • Sweet Potatoes 
  • Sunchokes
  • Turmeric

GROW YOUR OWN SWEET POTATO SLIPS:
You can plant sweet potato slips through June so you still have a little time to grow your own slips at home. See our blog post on two ways to do this at home. The method that produced the most slips was the “soil method.”  

If you haven’t grown your own slips you can buy them at local nurseries such as the Natural Gardener and Tillery Plant Company. You can even plant small organic sweet potatoes directly in the soil.
