FAQ
Can I grow fruit trees inside pots?
Yes! Yes! Your pot should have drainage holes to ensure that the tree doesn't get rotted by excess moisture. You should also ensure that the pot is deep sufficient to support the root ball. This will stop the tree becoming stressed.
Do I have enough space to plant a vegetable or fruit garden in my backyard?
If you don't already have a vegetable garden, you might wonder whether you'll have enough room for one. Yes. A vegetable garden doesn't take up much space at all. It's all about planning. Raised beds can be built as low as 6 inches. Containers can be used in place of raised beds. Either way, you'll still get plenty of produce.
How many hours of light does a plant need?
It all depends on what kind of plant you have. Some plants need 12 hours per day of direct sunlight. Others prefer 8 hours in indirect sunlight. Vegetables require at least 10 hours of direct sunlight per 24-hour period.

2023 Planting Calendar: When To Plant Vegetables
The ideal time to plant vegetables in the soil is between 50degF - 70degF. Plants that are left too long can become stressed and produce lower yields.
The average time it takes for seeds to germinate is four weeks. Once the seedlings emerge, they require six hours of direct sunlight each day. Additionally, they should be given five inches of water each week.
Summer is the best season for vegetable crops. There are exceptions. For example, tomatoes do well throughout the year.
Protecting your plants from frost is necessary if you live somewhere cold. You can cover the plants with straw bales, plastic mulch, or row cover fabric.
You can also get heat mats that keep your ground warm. These mats can be placed underneath the plants and covered with soil.
You can keep weeds under check by using a weeding device or hoe. Cutting weeds at their base is a great way to get rid.
To encourage healthy root systems, add compost to the planting hole. Compost can retain moisture and provide nutrients.
The soil should remain moist but not saturated. Water deeply once a day.
Soak all the roots with water. After that, let excess water drain back into ground.
Avoid overwatering. Overwatering can lead to disease and fungus.
Fertilize late in the season. Fertilizing too soon can lead to stunting and poor 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. Don't harvest your crop too early to avoid rotting.
Harvest fruits when fully ripe. The stems can be removed and the fruits stored in a cool location.
You can store the picked vegetables immediately in the fridge
