April is here, and it is a great time to plant a new garden or raised bed or to continue expanding and developing your garden or raised bed from last year. Over 115 years of farming history and heritage go into every bag of Daddy Pete, so you can’t go wrong with Daddy Pete’s Potting Mix or Daddy Pete’s Raised Bed Mix for the fruits and vegetables to plant this month: bell peppers, cantaloupe, corn, cucumbers, green beans, honey dew melon, hot peppers, lima beans, squash, tomatoes, watermelon, and zucchini. If you have an existing garden and just need to amend your soil, we recommend using Daddy Pete’s Composted Cow Manure, Daddy Pete’s Kickin’ Chickin, or Daddy Pete’s Mushroom Compost.

March has arrived and could bring ever-changing weather, but it is still a good month for planting fruit bushes and trees with Daddy Pete’s Planting Mix. Here is a list of fruits to plant during the month of March and into April: apples, blackberries, blueberries, figs, grapes, nectarines, peaches, pears, plums, raspberries, and strawberries. Once you have planted these items using our Planting Mix, we suggest using Daddy Pete’s Composted Cow Manure as a mulch around the surface area of the plant. Where applicable, make sure you stay away from the trunk of the bush or tree approximately 12 inches all the way around it.

March is also a great month for planting greens and a few other vegetables in your raised bed or garden, and this can go into April: collard greens, green peas, kale, lettuce, mustard greens, potatoes, radishes, spinach, and turnips. We suggest using Daddy Pete’s Potting Mix or Daddy Pete’s Raised Bed Mix for planting these items. We are still having some cool nights, so don’t forget to purchase Daddy Pete’s Sawdust for warm bedding for your livestock animals!
