Hello, green thumbs of Malta! 🌞 Spring is here, and it’s the perfect time to get your hands dirty and start planting those vegetable seedlings.
Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just starting out, we’ve got you covered with a guide on what to plant in March and April. Let’s dive in!
🌱 Spring Planting 🌱
Spinach
Popeye’s favorite! Spinach thrives in the cool weather of early spring for a bountiful harvest. 💪
Carrots
These root veggies prefer cooler temperatures to establish strong roots. Plant them now for sweet, crunchy carrots later. 🥕
Lettuce
Fresh, crisp lettuce is a spring staple. Varieties like ‘May Queen’ can be sown under glass or directly in your garden. 🥗
Swiss Chard
This versatile green can be sown outdoors from March and harvested throughout the summer. It’s as beautiful as it is tasty! 🌈
Tomatoes
Start your tomato seedlings indoors in March and transplant them outdoors in April when the weather warms up. Get ready for juicy, homegrown tomatoes! 🍅
Peppers (Sweet and Spicy)
Just like tomatoes, start these indoors and move them outside in April. Perfect for adding a pop of color to your garden and your meals. 🌶️
Cucumbers
These crunchy delights can be sown directly in the garden in April. They love warm soil, so make sure it’s nice and toasty. 🥒
Zucchini
Another warm-weather favorite, zucchini can be sown directly in the garden in April. Get ready for a bumper crop! 🎃
Beans
Both bush and pole beans can be planted directly in the garden in April once the soil has warmed up. They’re easy to grow and oh-so-delicious. 🌱
