Prescott Garden Keeping - March edition

🌿 March in the Prescott Garden
Your Monthly Garden Keeping Summary from The Whiskey Porch

​March in Prescott still brings chilly nights and the occasional winter weather, but the season is waking up fast. While spring temps tease us, remember our frost risk lingers—so hold off on tender plantings and take this month to prepare for the busy season ahead.
​

​🌼 Seasonal Highlights

• Start planting hardy seasonal staples: perennials, summer bulbs, onions, potatoes, and edible perennials like rhubarb and asparagus. Direct-seed cool-season vegetables such as beets, carrots, peas, spinach, and more.
• Prune and feed: Prune wisteria, roses, ornamental grasses, and grapevines. Apply bloom-boosting feeds and soil amendments as new growth starts emerging.

📝 Full Checklist is on our Substack.  The Prescott Garden Keeping Journal – March  Edition includes:

• 🌱 Plants & Planting
• 💦 Water
• 🦌 Critters
• ✂️ Maintenance
• 📝 Planning & Reflecting

​A Quick note about my shift to substack

I’m moving all of my seasonal content — including these monthly garden checklists and my more personal reflections on design, simple living, and the art of living well — over to Substack.

It’s a quieter, more intentional space where I can share practical tips, stories, and behind-the-scenes moments — all without ads or social media noise.  And, we can foster a more personal conversation there which feels more like sharing from the porch than broadcasting into the algorithm void.

It’s still completely FREE to follow along, and I’d love to welcome you there.
