When should you plant a home garden? Which plants should you start?

What do you mean by a home garden ? The one that goes with your house? You can put bulbs in anytime now , pointed bit upwards, they will then come up annually in the spring . If you live in an area where the soil is still warm at this time of year you could get a few in now , roses would be fine. If not wait till the spring when the ground starts to warm and then go for it. I have found over the years to by plants , particularly for late summer and autumn colour at that time of the year when in flower that way you gat a good idea of how long you can stretch the season. Hope that makes sense! 😄

enjoy your garden it will evolve and change and give great pleasure.

Thank you

Vegetables that tolerate cool weather can be started as early as the end of February below the Mason Dixon line or below I - 40 in the USA. Cold tolerate vegetables include cabbages, lettuce, peas, turnips, and even potato peelings/eyes. Other vegetables that thrive in warm weather would be the tomatoes, corn, beans, pumpkins etc. Fall plants like turnips can be planted in the rows of harvested cold vegetables by around mid-July. Hopes this helps. My grandma said to start with one or two and get to know how to grow them, then the next year add one or two more until I learned how to grow and care for each type.
