Description

Wondering when to plant vegetables? Not sure what to plant first?

You don’t need to plant everything at once.

In this episode, Donna and Steven talk about when to plant vegetables, and the Canadian tradition of planting the garden over the Victoria Day (May 24) weekend.

(Sometimes it makes sense…though not for all crops in all zones.)

If you’re looking for more on planting vegetables, check out this article on direct seeding.
