(Or front yard, for that matter)
This month, you can safely plant the ingredients for a delicious, healthy salad right in your own yard – or container! Not only is it fun and rewarding, but it’s a lot cheaper than buying everything at the grocery too!
- Lettuce – Growing lettuce requires only fertile soil, ample sunlight & a good supply of moisture and nutrients like those found in Espoma Garden Tone. Also, sprinkle on organic Natural Guard Diatomaceous Earth for pesky snails and slugs that love lettuce.
- Onions – Plant no more than 1″ deep in soil and enrich the soil with lots of compost!
- Chives – An easy-to-grow plant that will spread like crazy, which is great if you like lots of them! If not, removing the blooms before they germinate is key.
- Beets – Make sure the soil has a high phosphorous content, they are planted in full sun, get about 1″ of water each week.
- Carrots – Baby carrots will be ready to harvest in about 8 weeks. Full size carrots need about 10 weeks.
- Radish – Lots of sun and fertile soil are essential. Radishes are easy and FAST to grow – you should be able to add them to your salad in about four weeks!
