FAQ

When to plant herbs?

Spring should be when the soil temperature reaches 55 degrees F. For best results, plant them in full sunlight. Basil indoors can be grown in pots with potting mixture. They should be kept out of direct sunlight until they grow leaves. After plants begin to grow, you can move them into indirect sunlight. After three weeks, transplant the plants to individual containers. Water them frequently.


What is a planting plan?

A planting calendar lists the plants that should all be planted at various times during the year. The goal of the planting calendar is to increase plant growth while minimizing stress. The last frost date should be used to sow early spring crops, such as spinach, lettuce, and beans. Summer beans, squash, cucumbers and squash are all later spring crops. The fall crops include potatoes and carrots.


How do I determine the type of soil that I have?

You can tell by looking at the color of the dirt. Organic matter is more abundant in dark soils than those with lighter colors. A second option is soil testing. These tests measure the number of nutrients present in the soil.


Is there enough space in my backyard to grow a vegetable garden.

If you don't already have a vegetable garden, you might wonder whether you'll have enough room for one. The answer is yes. A vegetable garden doesn't take up much space at all. It just takes some planning. For instance, raised beds could be constructed only 6 inches high. Or you can use containers to build raised beds. Either way, you'll still get plenty of produce.


Which seeds should start indoors?

Tomato seeds are the best choice for starting indoors. Tomatoes are easy to grow, and they produce fruit all year round. If you are growing tomatoes in pots, take care when you transplant them to the ground. You should not plant tomatoes too soon. The soil can dry out, and the roots could rot. Also, be aware of diseases such as bacterial wilt, which can kill plants quickly.


How often should I water indoor plants?

Indoor plants need watering once every two days. Humidity levels can be maintained inside the house by watering. Healthy plants require humidity.
