March is almost here, and that means it's time to get back into the garden! These 8 crops to start in March love being planted early either because they have a long growing season or because they prefer cooler conditions. Some of these crops should be sown indoors and then transplanted outside once all danger of frost has passed!

You can start herbs indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Then, once there is no more danger of frost, transplant them outdoors in pots. If the weather dips again, you can simply move the pots! Learn more about growing herbs!
