We are still harvesting abundantly from our winter greens planted outside, but many of the plants in our high tunnel are going to seed and telling us spring is near. If you haven’t made a garden plan yet do it now. Check your average last frost date. Ours here in Central Virginia is April 15 which means it’s time to start more greens and get beds ready to direct sow the really frost tolerant crops like peas, spinach and onions. At Southern Exposure we just posted A Beginners Growing Guide to help you with preparing, sowing and planting your new garden, so you go seamlessly from sweet winter greens to tender baby leaf salad for your table.

Earlier today Southern Exposure officially pledged to support our local Plant a Row for the Hungry project of the Central Virginia Master Gardeners. Since 1995 this project (sponsored by the Garden Writers of America in partnership with many local organization and gardeners) has donated over 14 million pounds of herbs and vegetables to feed the hungry in our local neighborhoods and communities. We invite you to join us in supporting your local Plant a Row and help make a difference in your community.
