What to Plant Now: March 19 - 25

Picture
We just passed the Full Worm Moon, which was originally thought to refer to the earthworms that appear as the soil warms in spring. This invites birds to feed—a true sign of spring! 

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 is still a good time to plant trees, shrubs and perennials. It’s always best to try to transplant and seed-in with the coming rains, which is 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
  • Carrots
  • Ginger 
  • Jicama
  • Potatoes 
  • Radish
  • Rutabaga
  • Sweet Potatoes (Slips)
  • Sunchokes / Jerusalem artichoke
  • Tumeric

TRANSPLANT
  • Leeks
  • Onions (bulb)

If you haven’t prepped your potatoes you can buy seed potatoes to put directly in the soil.
Now is also a good time to start prepping your sweet potatoes as well. See our blog post on two ways to do this at home.

For more ideas on Ornamentals, Perennials, and Herbs, visit the Central Texas Gardener and The Natural Gardener lists online. Download the Texas A&M Extension Planting Chart and Varieties.
