What to plant first (in spring) in the garden

One of the first crops that you can sow in your garden is carrots. It is better to choose several varieties - early and intended for storage. It is recommended to sow more than normal in case germination is low. When the sprouts grow to 4-5 cm, they can be thinned out.

It is better to buy granulated seeds, since they are more reliable and easier to sow. Sowing is done in furrows spilled with water. Their depth should not exceed 2 cm. They should not be covered; simply sprinkle with mulch, soil, and sawdust. Watering should be done in a fine-drip manner, twice a day.
