Hey gardeners!
Depending on where you are growing, and how long and warm your season is, it’s helpful to learn what plants need an early start inside before the last frost to later become transplants in your garden, like tomatoes. Versus plants that prefer to be planted directly, or direct sown, into relatively warm soil.
For a breakdown of six plants that thrive in our zone if directly sown now, visit this guide from Fruition Seeds. They dive into specific plants and the reasons they prefer direct sow; such as zucchini, squash and cucumbers.
And for even more tips on this technique, you can check out this post from Hudson Valley Seed Co. This article details tips related to soil health, weeding, planting depth and thinning.
