FAQ
Which seeds should you start indoors?
Tomato seeds are the best choice for starting indoors. Tomatoes can be grown quickly and they bear fruit all year. When growing tomatoes in pots, be careful when transplanting them into the ground. The soil could dry out if you plant too early. This could lead to root rot. Plant diseases like bacterial disease can quickly kill plants.
How do I determine the type of soil that I have?
It is easy to tell the difference by the color of your dirt. More organic matter is found in darker soils than in lighter soils. You can also do soil tests. These tests are used to determine the quantity of nutrients in soil.
Are pots possible to grow fruit trees?
Yes! If you have limited space, fruit trees can be grown indoors. You should make sure that your pot has drainage holes to keep excess moisture from rotting the tree. Make sure the pot is deep enough for the root ball to be held. This will stop the tree becoming stressed.
Do I have enough space to plant a vegetable or fruit garden in my backyard?
If you don’t yet have a vegetable gardening, you might wonder if it will be possible. The answer to that question is yes. A vegetable garden doesn't take up much space at all. It's all about planning. For example, you could build raised beds only 6 inches high. Containers can be used in place of raised beds. You will still get plenty of produce regardless of how you do it.
What vegetables are good to grow together and what are the best?
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. To grow them together, you can start seeds indoors around six weeks before planting. After the weather has warmed up, you can transplant the pepper plants and tomatoes outside.
