Tips about how to Grow Your Heat Loving Veggies
Some common heat loving vegetation is cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, okra, beans, corn, and basil. They are referred to as semi tropical vegetables and need warm soil temperatures for your seeds to germinate and also the plants to grow well. It’s always best to start many of these seeds indoors then transplanted out when the soil is warm and air temperatures are a minimum of in the high teens (C) or over 50 degrees (F).
A good rule of thumb – if you’re able to walk in your soil with your bare feet, the soil is warm enough or your heat loving veggies.
Tomato, eggplant, pepper, okra, and basil seeds would be better started indoors, usually in February or March, while they need 8 to 12 weeks to grow just right to get planted outdoors. In case you would not start your personal seedlings don’t trouble yourself as most nurseries or local farmers markets will have transplants available for sale. Pick the healthiest, strongest transplants you are able to from reputable sources so they won’t bring any disease or pests into your garden.
