FAQ
What vegetables do you recommend growing together?
It is possible to grow tomatoes and peppers together, as they like the same soil conditions and temperatures. Both are great companions as tomatoes require heat to ripen, while peppers need cooler temperatures to achieve their best flavor. Plant them together indoors at least six weeks before you plant them. Once the weather cools down, transplant the pepper or tomato plants outdoors.
What is the best vegetable gardening layout?
It all depends on where you live. You should plant vegetables together if you live in a city. If you live in rural areas, space your plants to maximize yield.

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

It depends on the type of plant. Some plants need 12 hours of direct sun per day. Some plants prefer 8 hours of direct sunlight. The majority of vegetables require 10 hours of direct sunshine per 24 hour period.
