Spring Planting in Sonoma County - What to Plant Right Now
Spring Planting in Sonoma County: What to Plant Right Now (and What to Wait On)
Spring in Sonoma County arrives fast, but it does not arrive evenly. Coastal fog, inland warmth, and late cold snaps mean timing matters just as much as plant choice.
At Nor Cal Growers, we grow and stock plants seasonally, based on natural cycles, so gardeners in Santa Rosa, Petaluma, and beyond can plant with confidence.
What to Plant in Early Spring
Early spring is ideal for building the foundation of your garden. Some of our favorite starts right now include:
Cool-season vegetables
Hardy perennials like lavender and salvia
Strawberries and herbs
Fruit trees before summer heat arrives
What to Wait On
Warm-season crops like tomatoes and peppers do better once nights stay consistently mild.
