What Seeds To Sow In March In Ireland

关于

With March here, the growing season is really upon us. A collection of what seeds to sow now is not as necessary as it was over the Winter months, as in March with days getting longer, and temperatures slowly rising (certainly towards the end of it), you'll be able to sow almost anything that you want! That being said, it is always good to know the last frost date in your area, and base your seed sowings around that. You can view more information on this here. Below are some ideas for what seeds can be sown in March in Ireland. It is not exhaustive, as there is so much that can be sown now. There is more of a focus on varieties that need a longer growing season and will benefit from being started now. Tomatoes Tomato seeds can be started in March. The seeds will need heat to germinate, so starting them inside at room temperature is best. Starting tomato seeds in March will give them the benefit of the long growing season they need. They are heat loving plants that won't tolerate frost, so just make sure you don't start them too early if you expect late frosts in your area. You can see all of our Tomato seed varieties here. Peppers Peppers, just like tomatoes can be started in March. Pepper seed germination can be erratic if they don't get enough heat. Starting them indoors is essential. Leaving them in the warmest room in the house to germinate will help. A heated propagator or a heat mat that your seed tray sits on will also help. Pepper plants will also benefit from a long growing season. They also won't tolerate frost, so again, be careful not to plant these too early if you get late frosts in your area. An interesting fact about pepper plants is that they are actually perennials. If you were to take your pepper plant inside at the end of the season before frost, keep it growing inside on your window sill or under grow lights through the winter, you could put it back in the greenhouse the following year and it would continue to produce peppers!
