Plants to plant right away in the greenhouse and garden in March
Despite the fact that March is a rather unstable month in terms of weather, there are plants that can already be planted in the greenhouse. Experienced summer residents tell us which crops can be planted directly in the open ground in the first month of spring.
Novyny.LIVE shares some useful tips for gardeners.
What do you need to do in March?
Check the soil for frozen clods
Before planting plants, you should check whether the ground is frozen — if not, you can safely plant trees.
Treating the garden for pests
It is also important to protect your garden from pests that can destroy entire crops. But it is worth noting that this should be done when the thermometer rises above five degrees Celsius. This is important to protect bushes and trees from damage.
Planting seedlings
It's also important to sow seedlings in March, but you need to do it at the end of the month. The list of plants that should be planted for seedlings at the end of March includes:
- Tomatoes
- Cucumbers
- Cabbage
- Beetroot
- Carrot
- Pepper
- Aubergines
Which plants can be planted outdoors in March
Many crops must first be planted as seedlings, but there are some that can be sown directly in the greenhouse in the first month of spring. For example, you can plant new fruit and berry trees such as:
- Apple tree
- Pear
- Plum
- Apricot
- Sweet cherry
- Walnut
- Cherry
- Peach
But make sure that the buds of these trees are not swollen, as they may not take root well.

- Radish
- Pea
- Herbs
- Petunia
- Echinacea
- Snapdragon
