That right folks!! Herb and Veggie gardening season is quickly arriving! I would say that my best experience was to wait until about the 3rd week of October to get the best performance and the most productive crop from my edible garden!

Yes there are some garden centers that are  currently selling and promoting herbs and veggies and that’s ok. It’s just that the cooler it gets the better performance and less care your crop will need.

DiG iT TiP # 1. Potted gardens are definitely the way to go! Refer back to my potted garden post that povides  DIY step by step instructions.

DiG iT TiP #2. Plant Marigolds in pots near it to add color as well helps control insects naturally. STAY ORGANIC!

DiG iT TiP #3. Place your containers in the East facing sun for the warmer/longer days and the West facing sun in the cooler/shorter days.    

  DiG iT TiP #4 . Stay away from terracotta and any porous pottery, this will help keep moisture in at the root system longer and not heat up so hot while sitting in the sun.

Get the kids and the whole family involved on home grown herbs and veggies. Do you research, invest in books, and enjoy your crop!

Herb and Veggie gardening is a hobby that gives back physically and emotionally. It provides me with a sense self confidence and pride to know that something I’ve planted and nurtured can nourish me. The more care I give my crop, the more my crop gives me back!  Everything should be so easy!

DiG iT TiP #5. Shop at Living Color Garden Center for the BEST selection in herb and veggies this year! We promise to search the market for your unique needs! If you have any suggestions of items you would like to see us carry this year hit me back on this blog!
