"In hot areas, tomatoes and peppers may already be in the ground, getting their first sets of fruit. In colder areas, cole crops and frost-tolerant plants reign."
"Knowing the last frost date is a good start. Then, determining the timing of sowing is the guideline."
"Most peas should be sown four to six weeks before the last frost, and they prefer a rich, well-draining soil to thrive."
"These hardy root veggies are perfect in areas that are still cool, making them a great choice for April planting."
North American farms can start seeds in April, regardless of location. Local climate and crop growth time are essential factors. In warmer areas, tomatoes and peppers may already be planted, while colder regions focus on cole crops. Many cool-weather plants can be seeded directly now, despite lingering frost. Knowing the last frost date and sowing timing is crucial. Peas and radishes are ideal for direct sowing, with peas needing rich soil and support, while radishes thrive in cooler conditions.
