March is a busy month for gardeners, especially those living in warmer climates. However, if you're planting early, you risk damaging tender seeds or missing the fertile soil and abundant rainfall that will make your garden flourish.

Don't walk on the soil. Compaction can prevent root penetration and cause poor drainage.
March can be a tough month for many plants. But the weather is generally great for gardening. You don't want to be working in the garden while it's too cold, as it will only make things worse.

Compost can help you plants grow and improve your soil's condition.
Planting tomatoes and other cool season vegetables is best done when you are experiencing drought conditions. Plants will grow better in cooler temperatures. A few perennials and herbs are also recommended. These are perfect for the warmer seasons. It is most difficult to plant vegetables during winter, but March is the best month to do so. If you're in a warmer climate, you can transplant your tomatoes and other warm-season flowers and shrubs.

If you're in California, you can also transplant summer-blooming bulbs and tomatoes.
