When you plant warm season crops too early you’re not getting a head start. In fact, planting too early may cause more harm than good! When you plant too soon when temperatures are too cool it can cause stunted plant growth, wilting, surface pitting, foliage necrosis, increase disease, and prevent healthy root development.

So even when somebody says to plant early to get a head start you need to make sure the weather is favorable for plant growth. In today's show I'll be going over all of the details.

There are common gardening mistakes I see gardeners making season after season. Some are from a lack of experience which is completely understandable and nothing to be ashamed of because gardening takes trial and error and sometimes years of experience to really figure out, but the majority of the mistakes I see are gardening practices that come from bad information on the internet that spreads like a wildfire.
