FAQ

Which month is the best to start a vegetable gardening?

Planting vegetables in April and June is the best time. This is when the soil temperature is highest and plants grow most quickly. If you live in colder climates, you might wait until July or Aug.

Do I have enough space to plant a vegetable or fruit garden in my backyard?

If you don't already have a vegetable garden, you might wonder whether you'll have enough room for one. The answer is yes. A vegetable garden doesn't take up much space at all. It only takes some planning. For example, you could build raised beds only 6 inches high. Containers can be used in place of raised beds. You'll still be able to get plenty of produce in any way.

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. The pot should be deep enough to hold the rootball. This will stop the tree becoming stressed.
