What to Plant in EARLY SPRING! - Fruit & Vegetable Gardening for the Backyard with Bountiful Gardens
Spring is finally in the air!! In this video, Ike is going to go over some of our extensive offerings at our Ewing Bountiful Gardens location for your early Spring fruit and vegetable garden. We have lettuces, cabbages, strawberries, peaches, broccoli, cherries, pears, arugula--so many garden staples that you can pick up and plant immediately. It may still be the beginning of the season, but all of these plants want to go in the ground right now! If you get planting today, you can have a bountiful harvest to bring to the table by summertime.
When it comes to leafy greens, we have cabbage, kale, broccoli, mustard, watercress, brussels sprouts, bok choy, collard greens, arugula and much more. There's nothing better than growing your own food--enjoy a salad from your own garden this summer by planting your veggies today!
We have an impressive variety of fruit trees at the garden center as well. If you'd like to start your own grove of fruiting foliage, we have everything from classics like apples, pears, peaches, and plums to a bit more exciting species like cherries, apricots, nectarines, persimmons, asian pears and more. Like everything else we're discussing in this video, these trees are all ready to be planted today--so get your shovel ready!
Finally, we have an immense selection of strawberry varieties that can provide you with fruit from Spring through the end of Summer. Ike will give you a brief overview of the difference between June-bearing and Ever-bearing strawberries--really, you'll be choosing whether you want a higher concentration of berries in early summer, or more of a steady flow of berries throughout the season. We have varieties like Sequoia, Chandler, Allstar, Eclair, Ozark Beauty, Fort Laramie and much more. Each has their own flavor characteristics, fruit sizes, and fruiting times. Plant a few and see which you like best!
