Vegetable Gardening with Kids
Cultivating vegetables provides a meaningful opportunity for children to witness the full lifecycle of a plant, feel a sense of achievement in their efforts, and develop a better understanding of the process involved in producing food.
Plan and Plant Your Spring Vegetable Garden
Start your spring vegetable garden this month. North and Central Floridians may still plant cool-season vegetables, and all gardeners can enjoy crops like tomatoes and watermelon if they hurry. Prepare the soil, take stock of planting times, and get certain plants in the ground right away.
Is It Too Hot for Vegetables?
July is too hot for planting more than a few vegetables. Maintain your current garden and prepare for your future one. Construct raised beds or mounds to improve drainage and consider a soil solarization system to rid the soil of unwanted pests, weeds, and diseases.
Vegetable Gardening in August
It may be hot, but you can still grow vegetables in August! Planting guidelines vary across the state, but herbs and even watermelons can be grown in all regions. Prepare your soil, plant based on the recommendations for your region, and enjoy another summer harvest.
Your April Veggie & Herb Garden Tasks
Growing vegetables and herbs is as rewarding as the results are delicious, but good results require keeping up with the seasonal needs of your plants. This month, give your garden the care it needs to keep those fresh herbs and veggies coming.
