FAQ

How often should my indoor plants be watered?

Indoor plants need watering every two days. Watering helps maintain humidity levels inside the house. Healthy plants require humidity.

What is the best vegetable gardening layout?

Your location will determine the best layout for your vegetable garden. Plant vegetables together if your house is in a busy area. However, if you live in a rural area, you should space out your plants for maximum yield.

What amount of sunlight does a plant require?

It depends on the plant. Some plants need 12 hours per day of direct sunlight. Others prefer 8 hours of indirect sunlight. Vegetables require at least 10 hours of direct sunlight per 24-hour period.

What is the difference between hydroponic gardening and aquaponic gardening?

Hydroponic gardening relies on nutrient rich water rather than soil to provide nutrients for plants. Aquaponics blends fish tanks with plants to create a self sufficient ecosystem. You can have your farm right at your house!

Is there enough space in my backyard to grow a vegetable garden.

You might be wondering if you have enough space to grow a vegetable garden if you don't have one. The answer is yes. A vegetable garden doesn't take up much space at all. It just takes some planning. Raised beds can be built as low as 6 inches. You could also use containers to replace raised beds. You will still have plenty of produce, regardless of which method you choose.

Which seeds should you start indoors?

A tomato seed is the best for indoor gardening. Tomatoes can be grown quickly and they bear fruit all year. Plant tomatoes in pots and be careful about putting them in the ground. Planting tomatoes too early can lead to soil drying out which could lead roots to rot. Plant diseases like bacterial disease can quickly kill plants.

Can I grow veggies indoors?

Yes, it's possible to grow vegetables inside during the winter months. You will need to buy a greenhouse and grow lights. Before you do this, make sure to verify the local laws.

2023 Planting Schedule: When to Plant Vegetables

The ideal time to plant vegetables in the soil is between 50degF - 70degF. Too long will result in plants becoming stressed, which can lead to lower yields.

It takes approximately four weeks for seeds to germinate. Six hours of direct sunlight is required each day for seedlings to emerge once they have emerged. In addition, the leaves should receive five inches of water per week.

Vegetable crops are most productive in the summer. There are exceptions. For example, tomatoes do well throughout the year.

Your plants will need protection from frost if your climate is cold. Protect your plants from frost by covering them with plastic mulch, straw bales, or row covers.

You can also purchase heatmats to keep the ground heated. These mats are placed under the plants and covered with soil.

You can keep weeds under check by using a weeding device or hoe. Cut them at the base to get rid of weeds.

For healthy root systems, compost can be added to the planting hole. Compost retains moisture and provides nutrients.

The soil should remain moist but not saturated. Water the soil deeply once per week.

Make sure to water thoroughly, so all roots are hydrated. Allow the excess water to drain into the soil.

Don't overwater. Overwatering promotes disease and fungus.

Fertilize no earlier than the season begins. Too soon fertilization can cause stunting and low fruit production. Wait until the plants start to produce flowers.

Remove any damaged or missing parts from your crop when you are done harvesting it. Harvesting too soon can result in rotting.

Harvest when the fruits have reached their peak. You can remove the stems from the fruits and keep them in a cool place.

The harvested vegetables should be kept in the refrigerator immediately.
