Where I live in USDA Hardiness Zone 7a, March is the in-between time when the sun strengthens but the days are cool and nights are still frigid. Not much gardening and growing can be done on my part, but more than any other early-season task, there’s one investment that always tops my list in March: buying and installing raised beds.
In the gardening world, there’s no better way to harness the momentum of spring’s awakening than to prepare your garden beds. And because March ground is still firm, erecting and preparing raised beds not only gets me gardening, but it also helps me get an earlier start to the season.
