What Vegetables To Sow In March?

What vegetable seeds can you sow in March? As the temperature starts to slowly rise in March and the days start to get a little longer, the opportunity to sow vegetable seeds increases compared to the earlier months of January and February, and the new exciting growing season kicks off with some sowing inside or in a cold greenhouse and some sowing directly outside, but we have to be mindful of our local last frost date.

Below is an extract from my Sowing And Planting Plan page that can be found just under the manVslug.uk web site banner.

This sowing and planting plan is based on my last frost date of the end of March and using the Garden Focused web site that builds a basic list for you. I've tweaked that list to be more specific re the varieties I'm growing this year and the workload I have before me.
