On this week’s Good to Grow, hosts Denise and Jan will talk with Eduardo Rascón about whether it’s too early to plant vegetables while juggling the cool and warm-season seeds. In this volatile time of the year, we need to review our vegetable planting calendar. The data in the calendar has been curated by our El Paso Master Gardeners, amongst them our co-host of Good To Grow, John White. You can visit the calendar at: https://txmg.org/elpaso/files/2025/02/2020-Vegetable-Planting-Calendar-EP-Gardens.pdf
Pro Tip: While we see the calendar at the end of February, we can still get in some cool-season vegetables such as carrots, spinach, lettuce, cilantro, and peas, which can withstand the cool soil temperatures.
The El Paso County Master Gardeners started in 1981 and has been growing with many volunteers and Master Gardeners ever since. The love of gardening and search for knowledge are primary reasons people join the program to become trained and certified Master Gardeners. Texas Master Gardeners are united in name, but the program’s strength lies in its ability to meet the diverse needs of the communities it serves.
This program originally aired on February 28, 2026.
