Vegetable gardening moves into full swing in March. Plant seeds of beets, lettuce, peas, radishes, spinach and turnips. It’s also time to put out cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower plants. Other vegetables to plant now include asparagus, garlic, rhubarb, potatoes and onion plants or sets.
Growing Vegetables
Vegetables will benefit from loose, well-drained soil. A good way to achieve that is to incorporate Johnson’s Soil Recipe, which includes Cotton Burr Compost, ferti•lome Gardener’s Special, and Hi-Yield Bone Meal, into your soil.

A Green Thumb 90 years in the making...
It's still all good in the hood.
Wichita's 4th generation garden center started as a small fruit & vegetable stand in the 1920s on the outskirts of town at the corner of Douglas and West Street in Wichita, KS. As the business grew, Harold Johnson, with his father Orie, bought 5 acres of land on West 13th Street, and opened Johnson's Garden Center. This location is still operating today!
Fast forward a half century. Wichita's "favorite hometown garden center" is still serving gardeners all over Kansas for over 90 years. We are a 4th generation family owned business, and are committed to providing quality products and excellent service to our customers.
