FAQ
What is a plant calendar?
A planting calendar is a list of plants that should be planted at different times throughout the year. The goal is for plants to grow at their best while minimizing stress.

Fall crops include potatoes, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower and broccoli.
How much space do vegetable gardens need?
It is best to remember that 1/2 pound of seed will be required for every square foot. So if you have an area of 10 feet by 10 feet (3 meters by 3 meters), you'll need 100 pounds of seeds.
When to plant flowers
Planting flowers in spring is easier when the temperature is lower and the soil remains moist. If you live somewhere cold, planting flowers should be done before the first frost. The ideal temperature indoors for plants is around 60°F.
Are pots possible to grow fruit trees?
Yes! If you have limited space, fruit trees can be grown indoors. Ensure your pot has drainage holes so excess moisture won't rot the tree. Make sure the pot is deep enough for the root ball to be held. This will protect the tree from being stressed.
How much light does a tree need?
It depends on the type of plant. Some plants require 12 hours of direct sunshine per day. Some prefer 8 hours of indirect sunshine. Most vegetables need 10 hours of direct sunlight per 24-hour period.
What's the difference?
Hydroponic gardening uses nutrients-rich water to feed plants. Aquaponics uses fish tanks to grow plants. It's like having a farm right in your backyard.
