2023 Planting Date: When to Plant Vegetables
The ideal time to plant vegetables in the soil is between 50degF - 70degF. Too long will result in plants becoming stressed, which can lead to lower yields.
It takes approximately four weeks for seeds to germinate. Six hours of direct sunlight is required each day for seedlings to emerge once they have emerged. The leaves also need to be hydrated five inches per week.
Vegetable crops thrive in the summer months. There are exceptions. To take one example, tomatoes can be grown all year.
Protecting your plants from frost is necessary if you live somewhere cold. The plants can be covered with plastic mulch, straw bales and row cover fabric.
You can also get heat mats that keep your ground warm. These mats are placed under the plants and covered with soil.
Use a hoe or weeding tool to keep weeds under control. You can get rid of weeds by cutting them at their base.
Compost can be added to your planting hole in order to stimulate healthy root system growth. Compost is a good way to retain water and provide nutrients.
The soil should be kept moist, but not saturated. Water the soil deeply once per week.
Soak the roots thoroughly in water. After that, let excess water drain back into ground.
Do not overwater. Overwatering will encourage disease and fungus to grow.
Fertilize no earlier than the season begins. Fertilizing too early can result in stunting and lower fruit production. Wait until the plants start to produce flowers.
Remove any damaged or missing parts from your crop when you are done harvesting it. You can risk rotting if you harvest too quickly.
Harvest when the fruits have reached their peak. The stems can be removed and the fruits stored in a cool location.
You can store the picked vegetables immediately in the fridge
