What are the 7 basic requirements for plants?
All plants need these seven things to grow: room to grow, the right temperature, light, water, air, nutrients, and time. Plants have basic needs. Plants need sunlight, water, air, and nutrients from soil. Plants can survive and grow only when all their needs are met.It all starts with good soil. Whether you’re working with containers or an in-ground garden plot, good quality soil is the key to healthy plants.
What do you plant in August and September?
If frost usually waits until late October, you’re in a milder climate. You’ve still got some warm days left, but September is your golden window to plant both warm season crops that mature quickly and cool season favorites like lettuce, spinach, and radishes. It’s the perfect month to start transitioning your garden. Although September marks the beginning of fall, there are still a few fast growing vegetables that can be planted this month and be harvested before the first frost in most gardening zones. Remember to keep your soil warm by removing all mulch and maybe try using a plastic sheet to trap heat into the soil.
