Potatoes should be growing well now—time to earth them up! Mound soil around stems to protect tubers from light & boost yield. Tip: water well, especially once flowers appear—this means tubers are forming & harvest is just weeks away! Keep earthing up as needed to cover new growth. #gardenplanner

Rose Shrubs have arrived from Texas.

Germination is wrapping up decently. A few species didn't do great - Rudbeckia Hirta, Amsonia tabernaemontana, Eutrochium purpureum, and Asclepias speciosa (Germination went well but cold damaged after). Everything else seems to be doing well.

Cabbage butterfly caterpillars can quickly damage brassicas. Keep them away by planting strong-scented herbs like chamomile, mint, rosemary, sage, and thyme—these smells deter them. You can also shield your crops with muslin or horticultural fleece for extra protection. #GardeningTips #PestControl

Want to maximize your growing time? Sow early carrots as soon as VegPlotter’s app advises for your area. Plant in well-drained soil & cover with fleece for warmth. Pick fast-growers like ‘Napoli’ for a quicker crop. Top tip: Mix seeds with sand for even spacing—less thinning needed! #SpringPlanting
