Start planning your spring beds. Order seeds for paprika peppers, tomatoes, and herbs. Prune dormant fruit trees before buds swell. Check stored bulbs for rot.
Direct-sow peas, spinach, and radishes once soil temperature reaches 5C. Start warm-season seedlings indoors about 6 weeks before the last frost, typically mid-April in central Hungary.
Mulch beds to conserve moisture during hot Pannonian summers. Water deeply but less frequently. Deadhead flowers regularly and harvest herbs before they bolt in the heat.
