I’ve had some gardening friends and family members ask me about when it was good time to plant this or that so I figured that I’d post the planting information that I have here on the blog for those who live in our area.
All information that I am providing comes from the LSU AgCenter site {look down the page for the link to Louisiana Vegetable Planting Guide to see the actual planting dates).
Can plant in January:
beets, broccoli (seed), carrots, cauliflower, swiss chard, cabbage, chinese cabbage, kohlrabi, lettuce (last day to plant 1/31), onion sets, English peas, Irish potatoes, radishes, turnips, mustard greens
Can plant in February:
snap beans (pole and bush), beets, carrots, cauliflower, swiss chard, chinese cabbage, sweet corn, kohlrabi, Irish potatoes, radishes, turnips, mustard greens
This blogger who lives in Dallas, Texas (similar climate to ours so I often use her information as a guide also) has more information on planting and starting seeds in Texas.
What we have in the garden right now:
mustard greens
snow peas
carrots
swiss chard
broccoli (trying to start from seed – new for me so we shall see)
turnips
lettuce – leaf & butterhead
Still need to put in some cold weather crops and soon!
Have you started your 2012 garden yet?
