Happy Friday. I hope this bonus Friday episode finds you able to get out in your garden this weekend,

or if not, at least able to work on your garden planning a little bit more. For me, March is my

second busiest planting time of the year, with only the week after my last frost date being busier.

The reason is that with my average last frost date in early April,

warm season crops can be started indoors if necessary. Today I'm going to give you a list of

everything I'm planting in March, but don't worry if your

climate isn't exactly like mine. Since we're talking about the month before the average last frost

eats, but now it's also a driving passion for

me to help others grow their own food as well. One reason that I'm able to grow so much of my

own food, most of it in raised beds, is because I'm diligent about planting crops at the right

time, and you're going to hear a lot about that today.

But if you want a step-by-step plan on how to make this work for you and your climate and in

your garden, my online garden planning course, Dream to Garden, is now open for February

enrollment, but just for a few more days. In just four modules in this video course, you'll go from
