Seeds take approximately four weeks to germinate. Once the seedlings emerge, they require six hours of direct sunlight each day. The leaves also need to be hydrated five inches per week.

Vegetable crops thrive in the summer months. There are exceptions. One example is tomatoes, which do well all through the year.

Protect your plants from frost if it is cold. Use straw bales or plastic mulch to cover your plants.

Heat mats can be purchased to keep the ground warm. These mats are placed beneath the plants and covered by soil.

A weeding tool, or hoe, can be used to control weeds. Cut them at the base to get rid of weeds.

To encourage healthy root systems, add compost to the planting hole. Compost is a good way to retain water and provide nutrients.

The soil should be kept moist, but not saturated. Water the soil deeply once per week.

Soak the roots thoroughly in water. Afterward, let the excess water drain back into the ground.

Fertilize only when the season is in its prime. Fertilizing too early can result in stunting and lower fruit production. Wait until your plants start producing flowers.

You should remove all damaged parts when you harvest your crop. Too soon harvesting can lead to rotting.

Harvest when the fruits are fully ripe. You can remove the stems from the fruits and keep them in a cool place.

Keep the vegetables that you have just harvested in the refrigerator.
