You really should be planting them the same year you buy them. They might still be good, tho.
Put down a couple of paper towels on a paper plate and then sprinkle the seed on them. Cover with another couple paper towels and water them. If they sprout in a few days to a week, you can plant them knowing they are going to grow. Be really careful to pick them up by the tops when you plant them - the roots are very delicate! Unless something else happens to kill them, you should ...(Answered by broomhilda) |

They need average water, full sun and start thinning as soon as there up about 3 to 4 inches. Thin again when up above 8 inches, when they star getting mature, they will need 10 to 12 inches on each side. It's just like most other greens, Like mustard greens or even bok choy. ohhh loosen the soil and just lightly cover with dirt when planting. Make sure you use something like "Seven Dust" to keep the bugs off, They love the Bok Choy as well the Pak Choi...(Answered by myothernewname) |

Hello,
You can grow a garden on the patio. There are different size containers available. You will need to make sure that the container has enough room for the root of the plant or plants to grow. you can plan tomatoes, stromg beans, squasj peppers. Make sure that the containers are at least 8 inches deep. Also container garden normally needs to be watered more. The soil will dry out faster. There are great ideas & tips on Secilysgardentips.com
Enjoy your garden,

will definitely need to dig with fork to turn over soil and fertilize, sometimes if you crush a leaf of a plant you can smell what it may be, a herb or veg, it would be a shame to destroy something established. Get a garden book with pictures, from library if have to for now, it will be an invaluable help for all seasons as some things can be planted in fall. Right now for a quick crop, do radishes, rocket, various lettuces (read seed packets), some are very hardy and can have into fall. can be planted around ...(Answered by Nic K) |
