FAQ
Do I have enough space to plant a vegetable or fruit garden in my backyard?
It's possible to wonder if you will have enough space for a vegetable or fruit garden if your current one is not available. The answer to that question is yes. A vegetable garden doesn't take up much space at all. You just need to plan. For example, you can build raised beds just 6 inches high. Or you can use containers to build raised beds. You'll still be able to get plenty of produce in any way.
When should you plant flowers?
Spring is the best season to plant flowers. It is when the temperatures are warmer and the soil is still moist. Planting flowers should be done after the first frost if you live in a cold climate. The ideal temperature for indoor gardening is 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
Do I need to buy special equipment to grow vegetables?
You're not wrong. All you need are a trowel or shovel and a watering can.
