These can be planted in June or May if you live somewhere cold.
FAQ
Which vegetables are best to grow together?
Because they are both fond of similar soil conditions and temperatures, it is easy to grow peppers and tomatoes together. Both are great companions as tomatoes require heat to ripen, while peppers need cooler temperatures to achieve their best flavor. To grow them together, you can start seeds indoors around six weeks before planting. Once the weather gets warmer, transplant your pepper and tomato plants outdoors.
Which seeds should you start indoors?
A tomato seed is the best seed to start indoors. Tomatoes produce year-round fruit and are easy to plant. When growing tomatoes in pots, be careful when transplanting them into the ground. Planting too soon can cause soil to dry out and root rot. Plant diseases like bacterial disease can quickly kill plants.
What is the difference between aquaponic gardening or hydroponic?
Hydroponic gardening uses nutrient-rich water instead of soil to feed plants. Aquaponics blends fish tanks with plants to create a self sufficient ecosystem. It's almost like having a farm right at home.
When can you plant flowers in your garden?
Spring is the best season to plant flowers. It is when the temperatures are warmer and the soil is still moist. If you live somewhere cold, planting flowers should be done before the first frost. The ideal temperature for indoor plants is around 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
