These tips will assist you in creating the container garden of dreams.
FAQ
Do I need special equipment to grow vegetables in my garden?
No, not really. A shovel, trowel and watering container are all you need.
What vegetables are good to grow together?
Because they are both fond of similar soil conditions and temperatures, it is easy to grow peppers and tomatoes together. They work well together as tomatoes need heat to ripen and peppers need lower temperatures for optimal flavor. Plant them together indoors at least six weeks before you plant them. Once the weather gets warmer, transplant your pepper and tomato plants outdoors.
