How do you plant an old fashioned garden mix?
Instructions: Scatter Old Fashioned Mixed Garden Flower seeds in a sunny location. Plant seeds 4 times as deep as they are wide. Large seeds need to be planted deeper than small ones. Remove spent flowers to encourage more blooms.
How do you start a simple vegetable garden?
Decide whether you want to start vegetables from seed or purchase young plants from a garden center. If you've decided on seeds (e.g., peas, beans, squash, lettuce, mesclun mix, beets, or radishes), note that most annual vegetables should be started indoors about six weeks before the last frost in your region.
What vegetables should not be planted near each other?
Other commonly believed plant incompatibilities include the following plants to avoid near one another:
- Mint and onions where asparagus is growing.
- Pole beans and mustard near beets.
- Anise and dill neighboring carrots.
- Cucumber, pumpkin, radish, sunflower, squash or tomatoes close to potato hills.
What direction should vegetable garden rows run?
Most experts believe that the best way to orient garden rows in the Northern hemisphere is north to south. This gives the most sun exposure and allows for ample air circulation. When crops are planted east to west, the rows tend to shade each other.
