Now that spring is finally here and the soil has started to warm up, there’s no better time than the month of April to begin planting your seeds. It’s not too close to the end of winter or the next frost date. Serving residents throughout Midway, AR, Gregg Farm Services is the one-stop supply shop for local farm, home, and business owners, offering a variety of livestock feed, professional equipment, and farm supplies.

Below, the supply center shares a few reasons why April is the best time of year to plant seeds in your garden:

• Good Timing: April is a good time of year to plant new seeds because it isn’t right after the cold of winter. This gives the soil time to thaw, making it a perfect time to plant new seeds. It’s also far enough into spring that you no longer have to worry about frost.
• Earlier Harvests: The sooner you begin planting your seeds, the sooner you’ll be ahead of the harvest. You can enjoy your vegetables much earlier in the season and be able to make the most of it while the weather is still right.
• Wide Range of Vegetables: Countless vegetables and flowers are designated for planting during the month of April. This includes beans, beets, carrots, cucumbers, peas, and tomatoes. If you plant these seeds by mid-April, you’ll be able to enjoy the produce by the end of May.
