FAQ

Which vegetables are best to grow together?

It is possible to grow tomatoes and peppers together, as they like the same soil conditions and temperatures. Both are great companions as tomatoes require heat to ripen, while peppers need cooler temperatures to achieve their best flavor. Start seeds indoors approximately six weeks prior to planting. After the weather has warmed up, you can transplant the pepper plants and tomatoes outside.


What is the best way to determine what kind of soil I have?

It is easy to tell the difference by the color of your dirt. More organic matter is found in darker soils than in lighter soils. Soil tests are another option. These tests are used to determine the quantity of nutrients in soil.


Do I need any special equipment?

No, not really. All you need is a shovel, trowel, watering can, and maybe a rake.
