What vegetables can I plant before the last frost (which can survive the frosts of early spring)?

Question

And is there anything I need to keep in mind when I do? Like have to water them more/less, or anything like that?

Answer 1

You can always start to start some thing indoors first, but you can find a more complete list of frost-tolerant vegetables in below link.

Answer 2

Onions are great for planting early, before the last frost. I live in the southern U.S., and I planted mine in early February. They're doing great. The key to onions is to never let the soil dry out, always keep moist so that they'll keep growing or else they'll bolt into flower and stop growing the bulbs.

Answer 3

Don't forget the potatoes !!! Potatoes should be planted on Good Friday. Here we have to move the snow to dig a hole for them... It is now an easy task with the ground being frozen !!

Answer 5
