Interested in growing your own veggies? You’re not alone.
Few culinary delights are as rewarding as using produce that you grew yourself. A bowl of lettuce with the morning dew still clinging to each tender leaf, a radish still cool from the damp earth or a tomato picked and popped in your mouth still warm from the sun — everything tastes better when it was grown at home.
Bruce Frasier, owner of Dixondale Onion Farm in Carrizo Springs, Texas, says that sales of onion starts boomed during the pandemic and many customers have returned this year. When someone orders onion starts through Dixondale Farms, they receive seven weekly emails to help successfully guide them through the growing process.Start with your soilFrasier says that all good gardeners begin by understanding their soil.
Find reliable sources With gardening more popular than ever, you may find a local gardening group in your community you can join to understand the gardening seasons where you live. Frasier says that your local, reputable gardening center is the best place for a newbie to get good, reliable information and tell you what planting zone you live in.
The right plants for the right climateUnderstanding your soil, sun and planting zone will help you decide which plants to include in your garden. Some vegetables can grow just about anywhere, but the type of onion is critical for success. Onions are classified as long-day, intermediate-day or short-day plants and you need to grow the correct onion for where you live.
