You should plant vegetables such as collards and spinach a few weeks prior to the last frost. You can also grow edibles such as Swiss chard Bright lights and globe artichokes. If you are looking for color, grow purple or green oakleaf slaw lettuce. These make great foils for summer flowering year-rounds.

If you are not sure how best to plant artichokes then you can try planting them as bareroot. It is important to make sure they are properly soaked. They will not last very long if they are weak. This way, you can plant them right away.

How to apply foliar fertilisers
Foliar fertilizers are applied directly on the leaves of plants via spraying. In addition to providing nutrients to the plant, they help increase photosynthesis, improve water retention, prevent disease, increase resistance against pests, promote growth and development, and provide protection from weather conditions. They can be used to treat any plant, including fruits, vegetables, flowers, trees, shrubs, grasses, and lawns.
When applying foliar fertilizers, there is no risk of soil pollution. The type of plant, the size of the plant and how many leaves it has will determine how much fertilizer is needed. Foliar fertilizers can be applied when the plant's active growth is taking place. This will allow them to absorb nutrients quicker. These steps will help you fertilize your garden.
