When is the best time to plant a garden? I want to plant tomatoes, garlic, basil, peppers, and cumcumbers.?

Question

I live in MI.

I meant cucumbers!!

Answer 1

PLANT:
-Tomatoes-spring after risk of frost (if you grow from seed, sow indoors and start about 4 weeks prior to last frost date so you will have little plants to put out)
-Garlic-fall so it's ready for spring harvesting ("Garlic is best planted in the fall and will be ready to harvest the following spring. Most garlic is planted from planting vegetative plant parts called cloves.")
-Basil-spring after risk of frost (if you grow from seed, sow indoors and start about 4 weeks prior to last frost date so you will have little plants to put out)
-Cucumbers-sow after risk of frost (you can sow directly in the soil or start the seeds before indoors; I start my seeds before and plant my seedlings in the ground when they are ready)

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

A lot depends on where you live. If you're looking to plant anything from a bulb (like flowers) you should be planting after the first frost before winter (it's already happened where I am). If you're planting most vegetables and herbs you have to wait until the last frost after winter to plant outside. If you want to start from seeds you can plant them inside earlier, just make sure they are in a warm place. A lot of times when you buy starter plants or seeds it will say on the package where to plant them (lots of sun, lots of shade, etc.) and at what point in the year.

Answer 3

Best time is in Spring after all danger of frost has passed. You can start you seeds indoors about 6 weeks prior to last frost if you want to get an early start. All that you have mentioned prefer heat which means they will not start growing vigorously until it reaches the proper temperatures, however, as long as all danger from frost is over you can plant them in the ground and let nature takes it's course. In very early spring you can directly sow cool weather crops like lettuce, spinach, kale, peas, sugar snap peas, radish, etc. They will grow quickly and they like it cold.
Good Luck
