Is there enough space in my backyard to grow a vegetable garden.
If you don’t yet have a vegetable gardening, you might wonder if it will be possible. The answer is yes. A vegetable garden doesn't take up much space at all. It only takes some planning. For example, you can build raised beds just 6 inches high. Or, you could use containers instead of raised beds. You will still get plenty of produce regardless of how you do it.
When to plant herbs
Spring should be when the soil temperature reaches 55 degrees F. To get the best results, they should be planted in full sun. For basil indoors, plant seedlings in potting mix-filled pots and let them grow until they produce leaves. Once plants start growing, move them into bright indirect light. After three to four weeks, transplant them into individual containers. Keep them hydrated.
