Description
Be your own farmer and grow delicious delights right in your own yard! This garden highlights warm-season crops like squash, tomatoes, and peppers, but we’ve also thrown in some cool-season greens for an early harvest. This garden includes 32 locally-grown, organic starter plants in 2-inch pots which will fill about 44 square feet. That said, if you have the space, spread them out a bit for larger plants! This garden is also a great option for container gardening. Enjoy fresh-picked produce from your own yard! Designed by Resource Central.
For best results, consider planting out the cool season crops (hardy or semi-hardy crops) in early May. It also may help to offer a shade cloth to keep them cool in the Colorado summer sun. Wait to plant the warm season crops (tender or very tender crops) until late May or early June, after the threat of spring frost subsides.
Note: This is NOT a low-water garden, but we do our best to offer varieties that will stand up to our hot, dry Colorado summers! Vegetable gardens do require regular watering.
