FAQ
Do I have to purchase special equipment in order to grow vegetables on my own?
You're not wrong. All you need are a trowel or shovel and a watering can.
When should you plant flowers?
Planting flowers during springtime is best when temperatures are warm and the soil feels moist. Planting flowers should be done after the first frost if you live in a cold climate. The ideal temperature for growing plants indoors is around 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
What vegetables do you recommend growing together?
Tomatoes and peppers can be grown together because they prefer similar soil conditions. They are a good match since peppers need colder temperatures to produce their best flavor. Start seeds indoors approximately six weeks prior to planting. Once the weather cools down, transplant the pepper or tomato plants outdoors.
