FAQ

What vegetables can you grow together?

Growing tomatoes and peppers together is excellent because they both like similar temperatures and soil conditions. They complement each other well since tomatoes need heat to ripen while peppers require cooler temperatures for optimal flavor. To grow them together, you can start seeds indoors around six weeks before planting. When the weather is warm, transplant the pepper and tomato plants outside.


Do I have to purchase special equipment in order to grow vegetables on my own?

Not really. All you need is a shovel, trowel, watering can, and maybe a rake.


When is the best time to plant flowers?

Planting flowers is best done during springtime when temperatures are milder and the soil is moist. If you live in colder climates, it is best to plant flowers after the first frost. The ideal temperature for growing plants indoors is around 60 degrees Fahrenheit.


Can I plant fruit trees in pots

Yes! Yes! You should make sure that your pot has drainage holes to keep excess moisture from rotting the tree. Also, ensure the pot is deep enough to hold the root ball. This will prevent the tree from being stressed.
