FAQ
Do I need special equipment to grow vegetables in my garden?
No, not really. All you need is a shovel, trowel, watering can, and maybe a rake.
Can I plant fruit trees in pots
Yes! Yes! You should make sure that your pot has drainage holes to keep excess moisture from rotting the tree. Also, ensure the pot is deep enough to hold the root ball. This will protect the tree from being stressed.
Is there enough space in my backyard to grow a vegetable garden.
It's possible to wonder if you will have enough space for a vegetable or fruit garden if your current one is not available. The answer to that question 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. Containers can be used in place of raised beds. Either way, you'll still get plenty of produce.
When to plant flowers?
Planting flowers during springtime is best when temperatures are warm and the soil feels moist. Planting flowers should be done after the first frost if you live in a cold climate. The ideal temperature for indoor gardening is 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

How To
How to grow basil
Basil is one the most versatile herbs that you can use in your home. It's great for flavoring dishes, adding flavor to soups, sauces, salads, pasta, and even desserts. These are some helpful tips to help you grow basil indoors.
-
Choose your location carefully. Basil is an annually-living plant. It will not survive beyond one season if the location is not right. Basil is tolerant to partial shade, but it prefers full sun. If you want to grow it outside choose an area that is well-ventilated.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should be planted at least two weeks before the last frost date. You should sow the seeds at a depth of 1/2 inch in small pots. Clear plastic wrap should be used to cover the pots. Germination can take up to ten days. Once germinated, move the pots into a shaded area where temperatures stay around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
When the seedlings reach maturity, you can transplant them. Place the seedlings in larger containers and remove the plastic wrap. To drain excess moisture, fill each container with potting mixture. You can add more potting mix if necessary. Place the containers outside in direct light or in a sunny area. Mist the plants regularly to keep them from wilting.
-
After the danger of frost has passed, apply a thick layer of mulch over the top of the plants. This will protect the plants from freezing weather and decrease water loss.
-
Regularly water the plants. Basil requires regular watering in order to thrive. You can use a rain gauge or a water gauge to determine the amount of water that your plants need. A timer can be used to shut off the irrigation system when it is dry.
-
You should pick your basil at its peak. To encourage bushier growth, pick the leaves often.
-
Dry the leaves on paper towels or screens. The leaves can be stored in glass jars or bags in their refrigerator.
