FAQ

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

It's possible to wonder if you will have enough space for a vegetable or fruit garden if your current one is not available. Yes. A vegetable garden doesn't take up much space at all. You just need to plan. You could make raised beds that are only 6 inches tall. You could also use containers to replace raised beds. You'll still get lots of produce.

When is it best to plant herbs?

Herbs should be planted during springtime when soil temperatures reach 55degF. For best results, plant them in full sunlight. To grow basil indoors, place seedlings in pots filled with potting mix and keep them out of direct sunlight until they sprout leaves. After plants begin to grow, you can move them into indirect sunlight. After approximately three weeks, transplant them into individual containers. Continue to water them as needed.

Which vegetables are best to grow together?

It is possible to grow tomatoes and peppers together, as they like the same soil conditions and temperatures. They can complement each other because tomatoes require heat to mature, and peppers require lower temperatures for their optimal flavor. Start seeds indoors approximately six weeks prior to planting. After the weather has warmed up, you can transplant the pepper plants and tomatoes outside.

What size space is required for a vegetable garden?

It is best to remember that 1/2 pound of seed will be required for every square foot. Therefore, 100 pounds of seeds is required for a surface of 10 feet x 10 feet (3 m x 3 m).

What month should I start a vegetable garden?

The best time to plant vegetables are from April through June. This is when soil is at its warmest and plants are growing the fastest. If you live somewhere cold, it is best to wait until July or august.
