FAQ
Can I plant fruit trees in pots
Yes! Fruit trees can be grown in pots if you're short on space. Make sure your pot is drained to prevent the tree from getting rotted by excess moisture. Also ensure that the pot is large enough to accommodate the root ball. This will help prevent stress on the tree.
What is a planting schedule?
A planting calendar is a list of plants that should be planted at different times throughout 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. Later spring crops include cucumbers, squash, and summer beans. Fall crops include cabbage, potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli and cauliflower.
Can I grow vegetables indoors?
Yes, it is possible for vegetables to be grown inside during winter months. You will need a greenhouse or grow lighting. Before you do this, make sure to verify the local laws.

How To
How to grow basil
Basil is one of your most versatile herbs. Basil can be used to flavor dishes and add flavor to sauces, soups, pasta, and desserts. These are some great tips to grow basil indoors.
-
Be careful about where you place it. Basil is an annually-living plant. It will not survive beyond one season if the location is not right. It prefers full sunshine but can tolerate some shade. If you're growing it outside, find a spot that has good air circulation.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should always be planted at least 2 weeks before the last frost date. Place the seeds 1/2 inch deep into small pots containing potting mix. Wrap the pots with clear plastic and place them in a sunny area. Germination can take up to ten days. Once the pots are germinated, you can move them to a place where temperatures remain around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Transplant the seedlings once they're big enough to handle. Take off the plastic wrap and transfer the seedlings to larger containers. Each container should be filled with potting mix. To help remove excess moisture, add gravel or pebbles. As needed, add more potting mixture. Place the containers in direct sunlight or in a sunny window. The plants should be misted daily to prevent them from wilting.
-
Apply a thick layer mulch to the top of your plants after the danger of frost has passed. This will protect them from cold weather and reduce water loss.
-
Water the plants regularly. Basil needs regular watering to thrive. You can use a rain gauge or a water gauge to determine the amount of water that your plants need. Use a timer, which will turn off the irrigation when there is no rain.
-
Pick your basil when it reaches its prime. Pick the leaves regularly to encourage bushier, healthier growth.
-
The leaves can then be dried on paper towels, screens, or other suitable surfaces. Keep the dried leaves in glass containers or bags in a refrigerator.
