FAQ
Which seeds should start indoors?
The best seed for starting indoors is a tomato seed. Tomatoes produce year-round fruit and are easy to plant. Plant tomatoes in pots and be careful about putting them in 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 is a planting calendar?
A planting calendar lists the plants that should all be planted at various times during the year. The goal of the planting calendar is to increase plant growth while minimizing stress. So, for example, spring crops such as lettuce, spinach, or peas should not be sown before the last frost date. Cucumbers, squash, and spring beans are later crops. Fall crops include carrots and cabbage, broccoli, cauliflowers, kale, potatoes, and others.
Is there enough space in my backyard to grow a vegetable garden.
If you don't already have a vegetable garden, you might wonder whether you'll have enough room for one. 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. Or you can use containers to build raised beds. You'll still be able to get plenty of produce in any way.
What time should I plant herbs in my garden?
Herbs should be planted during springtime when soil temperatures reach 55degF. To get the best results, they should be planted in full sun. For basil indoors, plant seedlings in potting mix-filled pots and let them grow until they produce leaves. Once plants start growing, move them into bright indirect light. After approximately three weeks, transplant them into individual containers. Continue to water them as needed.

How To
How to grow basil
Basil is one among the most versatile herbs you could use in your kitchen. Basil is great for flavoring foods, including soups, sauces and pastas. Here are some tips to grow basil indoors.
-
You should choose carefully where to place your basil. Basil is an annual and will not live more than one season if it isn't in the right spot. It prefers full sunshine but can tolerate some shade. It is best to grow it outdoors in an area with good air circulation.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should not be planted more than two weeks prior to the last frost date. Place the seeds 1/2 inch deep into small pots containing potting mix. Cover the pots with clear plastic wrap and keep the pots in a warm area out of direct sunlight. Germination takes approximately ten days. Once the pots are germinated, you can move them to a place where temperatures remain around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
When the seedlings reach maturity, you can transplant them. Remove the plastic wrap and transplant the seedlings into larger containers. To drain excess moisture, fill each container with potting mixture. As needed, add more potting mixture. Place the containers in a sunny window or in indirect light. The plants should be misted daily to prevent them from wilting.
-
After frost danger has passed, add a thick layer to mulch. This will protect them against cold weather and reduce water losses.
-
You should water your plants often. Basil requires regular watering in order to thrive. Use a rain gauge to check how much water the plants need. Use a timer to automatically turn off irrigation during dry spells.
-
Make sure to pick basil right when it is at its peak. For bushier growth, pick leaves more often.
-
Use paper towels to dry leaves. Keep the dried leaves in glass containers or bags in a refrigerator.
