Wordless Wednesday: March Garden Madness

Recent rains brought the garden to life with all its chaos and glory. We welcome a degree of chaos when it comes to gardening. Nature does her thing, and we reap the benefits. Here’s some inspiration for your March garden madness.

Wisteria is blooming and the fragrance is intoxicating.
Blackberry canes come to life in flower for a new season.
Volunteer lettuces pop up in the pathway. Pathway salad is the best!
Nectarines and other stone fruits are waking up to spring with beautiful blooms.
As the green onions bolt to seed, the bees enjoy the pollen.
Winter mustard greens flower after they have finished producing for the season.
We started our tomatoes and peppers in seed trays this week. Later than expected, but still right on time because…
This is where the tomatoes will go, once these Green Arrow shelling peas are done. So…no rush, right? (We make a few cents if you use that link)
It’s stinging nettle season! Find recipes for our favorites here.
We’re harvesting potatoes from the fall-planted bed. Grow potatoes this spring – watch our videos on how to do it.

Spring equinox is Thursday, March 20th, 2025. Get out there and enjoy your March garden madness. Next up: summer!

    Speaking of stinging nettles – did you ever try the stinging nettle tea fertilizer/foliage spray that nice tomato lady from Willow Farms in Paso Robles you had on your podcast told you about?

      We have used stinging nettle tea to try stopping powdery mildew and blight and, while I recall that it did slow down powedery mildew, I don’t remember seeing enough success (eliminating it) to try again. But I suppose a good scientific approach would be to test it for several years and record the results. I’ll have to put that on the To-Do List.
