FAQ
What is a planting schedule?
A planting calendar is a list of plants that should be planted at different times throughout the year. The goal of the planting calendar is to increase plant growth while minimizing stress. So, for example, spring crops such as lettuce, spinach, or peas should not be sown before the last frost date. Later spring crops include cucumbers, squash, and summer beans. Fall crops include carrots and cabbage, broccoli, cauliflowers, kale, potatoes, and others.
What is the first thing to do when starting a garden?
Preparing the soil is the most important step in starting a garden. This includes adding organic matter like composted cow manure, grass clippings leaves, straw, and so on, which will help to provide plant nutrients. Next, plant the seeds or seedlings in the holes. Finally, water thoroughly.
Can I grow fruit tree in a pot?
Yes! Yes, pots are possible to grow fruit trees if space is tight. Your pot should have drainage holes to ensure that the tree doesn't get rotted by excess moisture. You should also ensure that the pot is deep sufficient to support the root ball. This will help prevent stress on the tree.
When to plant herbs
Spring should be when the soil temperature reaches 55 degrees F. For best results, plant them in full sunlight. Basil indoors can be grown in pots with potting mixture. They should be kept out of direct sunlight until they grow leaves. Once plants start growing, move them into bright indirect light. After three weeks, transplant the plants to individual containers. Water them frequently.
