What to Plant in March in Atlanta

March is one of the most exciting months for Atlanta gardeners — you're in a sweet spot where cool-season crops are still thriving and warm-season prep kicks into gear.

Direct-sow beets, radishes, mustard, and turnips into your beds this month. Keep harvesting outer leaves from any lettuce, spinach, or collards you planted earlier to encourage continued production. Cilantro, dill, and parsley can go straight into the ground as soon as soil is workable and will be harvest-ready in about 45 days.

Meanwhile, get your warm-season plants moving. Start tomato and annual flower seeds indoors — you'll need six weeks to grow strong transplants before moving them out after Atlanta's last frost, which averages around March 23 but has come as late as April 25. Prep your beds now by mixing fresh compost into existing soil so everything is ready when temperatures settle.
