Plant & Growing Tips

Tomatoes

  • Start early indoors; move outside after frost.
  • Full sun and deep watering essential.
  • Mulch to prevent blight.

Basil

  • Loves heat and sunshine.
  • Pinch off flowering tips to encourage lush growth.

Spinach

  • Cool-season crop.
  • Plant in early spring or fall.
  • Partial shade prevents bolting.

Bell Peppers

  • Require warm temperatures and fertile soil.

Onions

  • Plant sets early spring.

Oregano (optional)

  • Hardy perennial; thrives in dry, sunny conditions.

Natural Pest Control

  • Garlic spray for aphids & mites.
  • Basil repels flies and enhances tomato growth.
  • Marigolds protect tomatoes from nematodes.
  • Spinach: use row covers to block leaf miners.

Harvest

Tomatoes

  • Harvest when fully ripe and fragrant.

Basil

Spinach
