FAQ
When to plant flowers
Planting flowers is best done during springtime when temperatures are milder and the soil is moist. If you live somewhere cold, planting flowers should be done before the first frost. The ideal temperature for indoor plants is around 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
When to plant herbs?
Spring should be when the soil temperature reaches 55 degrees F. Plant them in full sun for best results. To grow basil indoors, place seedlings in pots filled with potting mix and keep them out of direct sunlight until they sprout leaves. When plants are growing, place them in bright indirect lighting. After approximately three weeks, transplant them into individual containers. Continue to water them as needed.
What vegetables do you recommend growing together?
Because they are both fond of similar soil conditions and temperatures, it is easy to grow peppers and tomatoes together. They can complement each other because tomatoes require heat to mature, and peppers require lower temperatures for their optimal flavor. If you want to try growing them together, start seeds indoors about six weeks before planting them. Once the weather cools down, transplant the pepper or tomato plants outdoors.

If you don't already have a vegetable garden, you might wonder whether you'll have enough room for one. The answer to that question is yes. A vegetable garden doesn't take up much space at all. It takes just a little planning. Raised beds can be built as low as 6 inches. Or, you could use containers instead of raised beds. You'll still get lots of produce.
How do I prepare the soil for a garden?
Preparing soil is simple for a vegetable garden. You must first remove all weeds from the area you wish to plant vegetables. You can then add organic matter, such as composted cow manure, leaves and grass clippings. Finally, water well and wait until plants sprout.
