Vegetable Gardening

What to Plant Now      

Peas

  • Water: Keep evenly moist in well-drained soil.
  • Light: Partial Shade or Full Sun (with cooler temperatures)
  • Fertilizer: Ferti-lome Gardeners Special.
  • Plant: Plant 4-6" apart next to a fence or trellis for tall growing varieties. Bush varieties need no staking. 
  • Harvest: Start picking peas when they reach a good size and the pods start to expand. To increase the length of your pea season, plant successively every 1-2 weeks.
  • Plant peas now.  They grow in cooler temperatures and will be through growing and producing when it gets hot, leaving a space in your garden to plant a crop of beans.  

 

 Lettuce

  • Water: Keep evenly moist in well-drained soil to prevent bolting.
  • Light: Full Sun or Partial Shade
  • Fertilizer: Ferti-lome Gardeners Special.
  • Plant: Plant thinly in rows 12" apart. Seedlings emerge in 7-10 days.  Sow every two weeks to extend your harvest.  Lettuce can handle light frosts so planting early in the season shouldn't be a problem.
  • Harvest: Pick leaves as soon as they are large enough to use. If harvesting the whole head, cut the base with a knife at the dirt level. Plant successively if harvesting heads to ensure an even supply of lettuce through the spring.

Onions

  • Water: Onions need an even supply of water throughout the season in order to swell in size. For a more pungent flavor, stress the onion a little before harvest by cutting back on water.
  • Light: Full Sun (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight).
  • Fertilizer: Onions are pretty self-sufficient, but apply Ferti-lome Gardeners Special every 3-4 weeks will encourage root and bulb growth.
  • Plant: Plant onions starts or sets in rows spaced according to how large the finished onion will be.
  • Harvest: Onions are ready to harvest when their tops begin to turn brown and fall over and the skin feels papery to the touch. Loosen the onions from the dirt with a spade or fork and lift out. Allow the onions to rest in a cool, dry place with good air circulation to allow them to cure for better storage.

 


 

 

Container Gardening

 

  Container Garden Sometimes full-on DIY landscape projects and planting are more than your schedule allows. And not everyone considers themselves a 'gardener.' But that doesn't mean you can't have a gorgeous porch or patio with personality. An area that defies your busy schedule, says who you are and welcomes you, your family and guests. Busy people deserve beautiful plants, too.

  Container Garden

Container Gardening is a great way for busy people to reap the rewards of gardening. It's fast, it's confined to a small, manageable space and it's affordable. It also gives you a lot of flexibility. You can move your plants, your color and containers wherever you want them: in or out of the sun, in or out of the house or onto the patio for a party.  And you can change the whole look of your porch or patio with plants for every season.
