Learn the dates of frost and plant accordingly. In most areas, the first and last frost dates set the planting schedule. The idea is that you don’t want to hurt small, frosted buds. Moreover, if it is not warm properly, or if the soil is still too flooded, it may drown, the small seeds are sitting in the soil. Another wise time to plant, especially in drought-prone areas, is in the summer heat. Instead, focus on planting in spring and fall.
7. A decent line is overrated.
There is no need to plant it in a row. By focusing the plants together, you can better trap moisture and allow taller plants to provide shade to small plants. Watering water also helps to group plants together to prevent people from ingesting less. Another thing you need to know is that vegetables work very well with companion plantings (techniques that use the growth habits of one type of plant to help others). The most famous union is “Three Sisters” (Beans, Corn and Squash), but there are other successful combos.
8. Picky is good.
Vegetable gardens require daily care to enjoy rewards and continue to produce vegetables seasonally. Fact: Turn your back and poof! – Cilantro and Arugula need to tighten the bolts with bolts and then repot them. Takeout: Vegetable Gardens is not a “forget as a set” project. Pruning, pinching and harvesting regularly.
9. Drought-resistant vegetables are real.
It seems crazy, but some plants grow better with less water. Conversely, cool seasonal plants with short root systems fight without water such as lettuce. There are drought-resistant vegetables for hot climates: corn, cucumber, melon, eggplant, all pepper varieties.
10. It’s important to take notes.
You may think you remember when you planted what its prolific zucchini and varieties are, but still, you may not. Record what you grew in the journal, where you grew it, and other planting notes. Also, write down all the mistakes like pepper that never produced, or all the mistakes like broccoli that have been invaded by aphids and tomatoes of flavor.
Do you have any tips for sharing? I’d like to hear about them.
