Sprout grew organically (no pun intended) from a hobby to a business, to a rapidly-expanding company. It began years ago when our founder, Rebecca, dreamt of having her own kitchen garden. She started by growing tomatoes in a tiny corner of her patio, and with just a little success that first year, she was encouraged to expand bit by bit over the next few years. She researched, practiced, and pursued her burgeoning interest in organic food and urban farming, and earned her Master Gardener certification along the way.
What can you begin to plant in March? It depends what USDA zone you live in! Virginians in the coldest parts of the state can get started direct sowing cool-weather crops like turnips, while Virginians in the warmer parts of the state can begin to plant potatoes, chard, and many other vegetables.
Believe it or not, spring is on the way. Last frost dates are still several weeks out (see below), but if you live in one of the warmest regions of Virginia, you can get started planting cool weather crops (like mustard or radishes) in February!
Geophytes! Geophytes are herbaceous plants with underground storage organs, rather than fibrous root systems.
