The "Home & Family" Vegetable Garden with Shirley Bovshow
First,
Shirley Bovshow showed how to prep space for the garden. Today, she's back to plant some veggies. Shirley's selection of transplants will have the garden producing by July 4th! Plus, Shirley has some great advice for all the gardners at home!
Shirley Bovshow's Veggie Garden Tips:
- Planting from seed is ideal for temperatures under 80 ° F . The hotter the temperature, the less ideal the environment is to plant.
- Seeds begin sprouting within 2 weeks, but give yourself 6-10 weeks for bigger results. - Remember to provide shade for your lettuce by using a cheese cloth strung above your lettuce or planting next to your tomates to use their natural shade. - Tomato plants need to be planted 2 inches deeper than other vegetables. Before doing so, trim the bottom leaves and sprouts off your tomato plants.
Two more tips:
- Save money on wooden framing on your beds by using landscape fabric instead to stop the soil bed from eroding.
- Remember to test your soil first to make sure it's an ideal area to plant edibles. And, get more great tips from Shirley at
