While winter is still hitting hard in many
states this year, March in Phoenix is typically beautiful spring
weather, making it a perfect time for gardening. Eager gardeners can
start as early as mid-February, but plants that are prepped and planted
during March will have enough time to root and appropriately grow before
summer’s heat strikes. Let's take a look what we should prepare and what we can plant.
Steps to take before planting
1. Location: there are two very
important things to keep in mind when deciding on location-sun and
space. Prime sun exposure will lead to healthy and flourishing plants.
Avoid planting in areas right next to your home so you can prevent
unwanted shade. Also, make sure plants have space to grow by not
planting near trees, bushes or walls of the house. If possible, a raised
garden bed is recommended to make soil preparation easier.
