It is important that you provide your plants the chance to gradually adjust to the modification in temperature and conditions, or you risk shocking them. Start by placing your plants outside for a few hours only. During the period of a week, slowly increase the amount of time that you leave them outside. At the end of a week, they should be accustomed to the outdoors and ready to transition to outside safely.

Use the handles of your tools as a handy ruler when doing your outdoor chores. Tools with long handles, such as rakes, shovels or hoes can work as great measuring sticks. Lay the handles of said tools on the floor where it is flat and there is absolutely no interference, such as gravel, and stretch a measuring tape along one side. Label the distances with a permanent marker. Now you will always possess a large ruler ready for your use in the garden.

Slug-proof your garden with smart perennial choices. Snails and slugs can destroy plants in just one night. These pests are particularly fond of young perennials and those varieties with leaves that are tender, smooth, and thin. Some perennials are not preferred meals for snails and slugs, especially if their foliage is hairy and tough, or tastes bad. Good choices in this category are plants such as achillea, campanula, and euphorbia. Heuchera and helleborus also work well.

Try growing your peas indoors for the first couple months. The seeds will have a better germination rate if you start them indoors. Seedlings raised indoors are hardier, too they can stand up better to diseases and insects. Once your seedlings are sturdy, you can then move them outside.

Learn the ideal times for harvesting your vegetables. Different vegetables and fruits have their ideal seasons and months where they flourish, survive, and are harvested at the very best quality. For instance, zucchini and baby peas have the best taste when you pick them early. At the opposite end of the spectrum, tomatoes are at their best when mature. Research the best time to pick your produce.

As you have learned, having an organic garden is an important factor in healthy dietary habits, as is a thorough understanding of the numerous plants you can choose from. The tips you've found above are sure to help you get off and away to an excellent start on growing chemical-free healthy food.
