Kitchen Garden Tips

Hi Everyone,

We'll be having our Kitchen Garden program on Wednesday at the SAAC. We wanted to provide you with a few tips to keep that newly planted garden green and growing strong. Here they are!

  • When determining whether or not your plant needs to be watered, touch the soil. It should be damp to the touch
  • Partial sunlight is the best option for most plants, especially in the Georgia heat
  • It's kind of like a pet- you need to keep an eye on it!
  • Mint loves especially damp soil
  • Thyme, Rosemary, and Basil all need less water
  • Rotate your crops! Don't plant crops of the same family in the same area in consecutive years
Those are our tips for now. See you on Wednesday night at the SAAC!
