Spring Gardening with Vegetable Plants

In early spring, nearly two weeks prior to the last average frost date in your area, it’s safe to plant lettuce, beets, carrots, radishes, dill, cilantro, cabbage, broccoli, celery, kale and potatoes outdoors. Both lettuce and celery seeds need light to germinate. Be careful to only cover these varieties of seeds lightly with soil during the planting process. Directly sow carrot, radish, dill and cilantro seeds. Transplanting is not recommended for these types of vegetables and herbs. Vegetable plants for spring gardening at home.

Best Flowering Plant for your Garden - Osteospermums

Osteospermum is a kind belonging to the Calenduleae, one of the smaller tribes of the sunflower family (Asteraceae). Osteospermums gives a rich look for your outdoor garden. You can also have them indoor.

Osteospermums, also known as the African daisy, are enjoying a sunny position in a well drained plant border on the top of a wall. They associate well with other gray leaved plants which prefer a drier location such as Lavander, garden pinks and Senecio. All of these garden plants enjoy the favourable Dundee weather. The purple flowers last all summer on these perennial plants.
