Indoor gardening is done on a small scale the plants need more care
n a summer outdoor garden. Fertilization, lighting, pollination, soil, temperature
wa
ing are all fact
t needed to be monitored carefully when gardening
o
.
When gardening o
planning is very important to your success. If you decide at the end of your growing season
t you want to keep gardening
o
you just might have trouble doing it. Seeds in most areas are hard to come by in the fall. Buying enough seeds for your spring planting
storing a few extra for your
oor win
planting is the one thing to keep in m
. Other thoughts are what you want to plant.
When choosing plants t you want to grow
o
also takes some planning. In most places space is going to be the main factor. Keep plants to smaller sizes. For tomatoes you might consider cherry tomatoes, lettuce stay with a leaf lettuce
beans you can plant bush type beans.
Af you have decided on what crops you would like to grow over the win
months
o
have the seeds you need readily on h
you can start preparing to plant.
Soil w be your next consideration.You are going to want to have a soil mix or so
ess mix
t has a soil structure
t is going to retain the moisture
nutrients
t the plants are going to need to survive.
Af you have your containers f
ed with your soil mix
your seeds are planted you w
need a good location
t has sufficient lighting. plants require at the minimum of six to eight hours of sunlight
the plants w
have to be placed close to the light source.One problem
t tender plants might have is
t the cold temperatures
t could radiate off w
ows when the sun goes down w
harm them. If this is a problem you could supplement them with heat growing lamps to compensate the cold temperatures.
Pollination is another issue with oor gardening. There is no w
or insects needed to pollinate the plants naturally. manually pollinating w
have to be done. All
t is needed is a small artists brush to gently transfer the pollen from one flower to another.
Waing of plants w
need to be monitored daily. Plants being grown
o
in a confined space with the heat on don't get the humidity needed to go long periods of time without wa
ing. Usually you
need to wa
daily or every other day. Wa
ing frequently can also deplete the nutrients in the soil. A good balanced organic fertilizer
t is slow release w
replenish the nutrients back into the soil
t are needed for the plants to thrive.
Vegetables grown o
usually don't produce the yields
size of the same vegetables grown outdo
.Growing vegetables
o
can be fun to do while you are waiting for the first sign of spring to return
get back to your outside gardening.
