There’s something deeply satisfying about planting your own seeds and watching them flourish. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just getting started, spring is the perfect time to get your hands dirty and bring some life back to your backyard.
At Walker’s Feed and Farm Supply, we carry a wide variety of flower and vegetable seeds that thrive in Texas soil. Here’s a look at what to plant now—and how to set your garden up for success.
Top Veggies to Start This Spring:
Tomatoes – Start indoors or grab starter plants. They love the heat but need a head start.
Peppers – Bell or spicy, they’re easy to grow in containers or garden beds.
Squash & Zucchini – Fast growers and highly productive with the right space and sunshine.
Green Beans – Direct sow into warm soil and watch them take off.
Cucumbers – Great for trellises, cucumbers thrive in well-drained soil with plenty of sun.
Spring Flower Favorites:
Zinnias – Bright, hardy, and easy to grow. Butterflies love them.
Sunflowers – Iconic and joyful, sunflowers bring beauty and birdlife to your garden.
Marigolds – Not only do they brighten up your beds, but they also repel certain pests naturally.
Cosmos – Graceful, drought-tolerant, and perfect for that wildflower look.
Tips for Strong Spring Planting:
Soil First – A good garden starts with great soil. Pick up compost, organic fertilizer, or soil enhancers from our shelves.
Label Everything – It’s easy to forget where you planted what. Simple garden markers can save you the guesswork.
Water Wisely – Water early in the day and avoid overwatering. A soaker hose or drip irrigation system is a great investment for larger gardens.
