What vegetables are best to plant in March (vegetables that can be planted in the south and north in March of the Gregorian calendar)

What vegetables are best to plant outdoors in March?

Due to different regions, there are differences in temperature between the north and the south, and the climate in different provinces is also different. For example, in Zhejiang, Guangdong, Henan, Hangzhou, Shandong, Hunan and other regions, there are still many differences in the climate after the beginning of spring.

Therefore, in March of the Gregorian calendar, some vegetables can be grown outdoors in the south, but not necessarily in the north. Today, I will introduce to you the vegetables that are suitable for growing in the south and north in March.

Chinese chives

The planting season of leek is spring, summer and autumn. Generally, the planting time in spring is between March and May , and it can be planted when the temperature is stable above 15 degrees.

In terms of temperature, cucumbers can be planted outdoors on a large scale in March in the southern regions , but in some slightly colder areas in the north, it will be postponed to April or May .

If vegetable farmers plant cucumbers, they usually buy cucumber seedlings for transplanting. If it is a seedling manufacturer, they will choose to grow seedlings in a greenhouse in advance.

When the cucumber seedlings are sold in March, the survival rate of transplanted cucumber seedlings is relatively high. It is recommended to give priority to strong, large and growing seedlings when purchasing seedlings.

Chinese cabbage

The planting time of cabbage is mostly in spring and autumn, and it is generally planted in spring from March to April . The temperature of cabbage is similar to that of cucumber, and it is also advisable to stabilize the temperature above 15 degrees or better.

Moreover, cabbage is not tolerant to low temperatures, so in order to increase the survival rate, temperature is critical. It can be planted appropriately in the southern and central regions in March, and delayed until April in the northern regions .

For cabbage farmers who grow cabbage on a large scale, the main thing is to avoid risks. In addition, the price of cabbage varies greatly. In cheap years, it is only 0.2-0.3 yuan per catty, and in expensive years, it can reach more than 1 yuan per catty.

French beans

Green beans are also called "kidney beans". Although the name contains "four seasons", they cannot be grown outdoors all year round (except in greenhouses).

In the open air, the sowing time of green beans is concentrated in spring and autumn, and the spring time is usually from February to April . Due to the temperature difference between the north and the south, green beans can be planted in March in central China and southwest China.

The Huanghuaihai region will be postponed to April, and the northern plateau region will be postponed to May. The autumn sowing time is generally concentrated in July-September, and the appropriate sowing time should be selected according to the specific situation.

Amaranth

Spring is the season for eating wild vegetables, and amaranth is indispensable. The time for planting amaranth in the open air starts from March and can last until August . Of course, the planting time of amaranth is related to the temperature in different regions, and it may also be related to the variety.

It is understood that varieties such as pointed-leaf red rice amaranth and pointed-leaf flower red amaranth can be planted in March . If you have friends who want to plant amaranth, you can hurry up.

Shepherd's Purse

Shepherd's purse has strong adaptability and does not require special management after planting. It can be planted when the temperature is greater than 20 degrees .

Therefore, during March, friends who want to grow shepherd's purse can choose a suitable site and harvest a good yield without excessive fertilization and management.

Chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemum can be planted all year round in the southern region, while in the central and northern regions, the planting time is concentrated in spring, summer and autumn . March is the sowing time in spring, and it is a semi-cold-resistant vegetable .

If the temperature is low during sowing, it is not conducive to growth. Therefore, in March, when the temperature rises above 15 degrees , you can plant chrysanthemum in the open air.

tomato

The planting time of tomatoes is mainly concentrated in spring and autumn . Of course, depending on the region, March to May is the peak period for spring planting .

When planting tomatoes, you can choose to buy seeds for sowing or buy seedlings for planting. For ordinary vegetable farmers or their own small vegetable gardens, it is recommended to buy seedlings for planting, which is relatively easier to plant.

lettuce

Lettuce prefers a cool but not cold environment. Therefore, spring and autumn are the seasons for growing lettuce, and the sowing time in spring is from February to April .

In February, it is mainly in the southern region , in March it can extend to the Huanghuai and Haihe regions , and in April it can basically extend to the northern region .

Lettuce is relatively simple to grow, as it has a well-developed root system and is drought-resistant. In addition, sowing lettuce is also easy. After purchasing the seeds, you can directly sow them in the soil and cover them with a thin layer of soil.

radish

Radishes can be grown all year round. March is the spring radish season , and the growing period can be as long as 1-2 months, depending on the variety.

When planting spring radish, the temperature should be stable above 15 degrees . If the temperature is too low, it will affect the emergence of seedlings.

On the other hand, the radish grows weakly, resulting in the radish not growing big. If the local warming time is late during the spring, the planting time can be appropriately delayed.
