Guide to Avant Gardening: Part 13 ~ Plant Cold Tolerant Seeds
Knowing that gardening is always an iffy proposition, understand that some seeds can tolerate frost and grow in the cold–and take a gamble by planting them early in spring or even the fall before. Chard, spinach, kale, broccoli, fava beans and peas can all be direct-sown in March. It it’s cold they’ll wait to germinate, if it warms up you’ve got a great jump on the growing season. Broccoli and fava beans can be sown a little deeper than usual to protect them from a late cold snap.
