For home gardeners in Charleston, March is prime planning time for a productive vegetable garden. Whether you want fresh greens for salads or hearty crops that transition into summer, now is when gardens start humming.
Perfect picks for early planting:
Greens — Lettuce, mustard, spinach, collards, and peas thrive in cool spring weather.
Root veggies — Radishes and beets grow quickly and can be planted outdoors.
Onions and leeks — Sets and starts do well this month.
Herbs — Cilantro, parsley, dill, and chives love cool soil.
