FAQ
What is the minimum space required to grow vegetables?
A good rule of thumb is that one square foot of soil requires 1/2 pound of seed. If you have a 10-foot by 10-foot area (3m by 3m), then 100 pounds will be needed.
When can you plant flowers in your garden?
Spring is the best season to plant flowers. It is when the temperatures are warmer and the soil is still moist. Planting flowers should be done after the first frost if you live in a cold climate. The ideal temperature indoors for plants is around 60°F.
Do I need special equipment to grow vegetables in my garden?
You're not wrong. All you need to do is use a shovel, trowels, watering containers, and maybe even a rake.
Which seeds should start indoors?
The best seed for starting indoors is a tomato seed. Tomatoes produce year-round fruit and are easy to plant. It is important to be careful when planting tomatoes in containers. Planting tomatoes too early can lead to soil drying out which could lead roots to rot. It is important to be aware that bacteria wilt can quickly kill plants.
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 complement each other well since tomatoes need heat to ripen while peppers require cooler temperatures for optimal flavor. You can try planting them together by starting seeds indoors six weeks before transplanting them outdoors. After the weather has warmed up, you can transplant the pepper plants and tomatoes outside.

How To
Basil Growing Tips
Basil is one herb you can use to make many different dishes in your kitchen. Basil is great for flavoring foods, including soups, sauces and pastas. Here are some ways to grow basil indoors.
-
Be careful about where you place it. Basil is an evergreen plant. If it's not located in the right area, it will only last one season. Basil likes full sunlight but can be tolerant of partial shade. If you plan to grow it outside, make sure there is good air circulation.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should be planted at least two weeks before the last frost date. In small pots with potting mixture, sow seeds about 1/2 inch deep. Clear plastic wrap should be used to cover the pots. Germination usually takes about ten days. After they have germinated move them into a cool, shaded place where the temperature stays around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Once the seeds are big enough, it's time to transplant them. Take off the plastic wrap and transfer the seedlings to larger containers. Each container should be filled with potting mix. To help remove excess moisture, add gravel or pebbles. As needed, add more potting mixture. The containers should be placed in a sunny location or under indirect lighting. Mist the plants regularly to keep them from wilting.
-
After frost danger has passed, add a thick layer to mulch. This will protect them against cold weather and reduce water losses.
-
Water your plants frequently. Basil needs regular watering to thrive. Use a rain gauge to check how much water the plants need. Use a timer, which will turn off the irrigation when there is no rain.
-
Make sure to pick basil right when it is at its peak. Pick leaves frequently to encourage bushier growth.
-
Dry the leaves on paper towels or screens. Keep the dried leaves in glass containers or bags in a refrigerator.
