What to do in the garden right now

Pick a month. This is the list I actually work from — Garden Zone 7A. Adjust a week or two either way for yours.

Do this month

  • Start tomatoes and peppers under a light
  • Direct sow peas, spinach and radish
  • Cut back last year's perennial stems

Leave it alone

  • Digging wet red clay; wait for it to crumble
  • Bare soil; leave the mulch where it is
