THINGS TO DO IN MARCH
COOL & TEMPERATE
VEGIES
This is one of the most bountiful times in the vegie garden! Keep picking beans, corn, cucumber, squash, tomato and zucchini. Share, swap, bottle and preserve excess harvest — you’ll be pleased you did when winter hits.
As autumn progresses summer vegetable plants begin to die back and crops get smaller. Zucchini is usually the first to give up as it becomes weakened by powdery mildew. This disease, which appears as a dusting of white over the leaves and stems, causes the leaves to wither.
Tomatoes may also die
