FAQ
What is a planting schedule?
A planting calendar is a list that lists plants that should be planted at specific times throughout the year. The goal is to maximise growth while minimizing stress. For example, early spring crops like lettuce, spinach, and peas should be sown after the last frost date. Cucumbers, squash, and spring beans are later crops. Fall crops include cabbage, potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli and cauliflower.
What is the best vegetable gardening layout?
The location of your home will dictate the layout of your vegetable garden. Plant vegetables together if your house is in a busy area. You should plant your vegetables in groups if you live outside of the city. This will ensure maximum yield.
How much light does a tree need?
It all depends on what kind of plant you have. Some plants need 12 hours of direct sun per day. Others prefer 8 hours of indirect sunlight. Most vegetables require 10 hours direct sunlight in a 24-hour period.
