Temperature
These plants do best in cooler weather. Most can take freezing weather and snow.  (same for transplants and seeds)

Soil
Work compost into the soil before planting.  For best results top with pine bark mulch to help hold moisture (after seeds are up - or expose soil in seed "lanes").

Watering
As needed, but generally in warmer weather, water twice a week.  Cooler: once a week.  If you don't mulch, you have to water more often.

Fertilization
Our Olive's Mix is a great way to prepare the soil and feed one time a year! Organic fertilizers do best when incorporated into the soil.

Harvesting - Depending on the veggie you can tell by size, color, shape and leaf changes. Give us a call if you are unsure about how your veggies should look.
