FAQ

Which seeds should you start indoors?

Tomato seeds are the best choice for starting indoors. Tomatoes produce year-round fruit and are easy to plant. If you are growing tomatoes in pots, take care when you transplant them to the ground. Planting too soon can cause soil to dry out and root rot. Be aware of diseases like bacterial wilt which can quickly kill plants.

What vegetables are good to grow together and what are the best?

Growing tomatoes and peppers together is excellent because they both like similar temperatures and soil conditions. They work well together as tomatoes need heat to ripen and peppers need lower temperatures for optimal flavor. Start seeds indoors approximately six weeks prior to planting. Once the weather cools down, transplant the pepper or tomato plants outdoors.

When to plant herbs?

Spring should be when the soil temperature reaches 55 degrees F. The best results are achieved when they are in full sunshine. Plant basil indoors by placing seedlings into pots containing potting mix. Keep them out of direct sun until they sprout leaves. When plants are growing, place them in bright indirect lighting. After about three weeks, transplant them to individual containers and continue to water them regularly.
