This involves adding organic matter, such as composted soil, grass clippings and leaves, straw or other material, to help provide nutrients for the plants. Next, you will plant your seeds or seedlings directly into the prepared holes. Finally, water thoroughly.
Which month is the best to start a vegetable gardening?
From April to June is the best season for vegetables. This is when the soil is warmest and plants grow fastest. If you live outside of a warm climate, you might be better off waiting until July or August.

How To
How to grow basil
Basil is one herb you can use to make many different dishes in your kitchen. Basil can be used to flavor dishes and add flavor to sauces, soups, pasta, and desserts. These are some helpful tips to help you grow basil indoors.
-
You should choose carefully where to place your basil. Basil is an annually-living plant. It will not survive beyond one season if the location is not right. Basil likes full sunlight but can be tolerant of partial shade. It is best to grow it outdoors in an area with good air circulation.
-
Plant the seeds. Basil seeds should not be planted more than two weeks prior to the last frost date. Plant the seeds in small pots that are 1/2 inch deep. Wrap the pots with clear plastic and place them in a sunny area. Germination typically takes around ten days. Once the pots are germinated, you can move them to a place where temperatures remain around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Transplant the seedlings once they're big enough to handle. Transplant the seedlings into larger pots by removing the plastic wrap. Add potting mix to each container. As necessary, you can add more potting material. The containers should be placed in a sunny location or under indirect lighting. Keep the plants hydrated to avoid wilting.
-
After frost danger has passed, add a thick layer to mulch. This will prevent them from frost damage and help to reduce water loss.
-
Regularly water the plants. Basil needs to be watered regularly in order for it to thrive. You can use a rain gauge or a water gauge to determine the amount of water that your plants need. Use a timer, which will turn off the irrigation when there is no rain.
-
Make sure to pick basil right when it is at its peak. For bushier growth, pick leaves more often.
-
The leaves can then be dried on paper towels, screens, or other suitable surfaces. The leaves can be stored in glass jars or bags in their refrigerator.
