How to Grow:
Start seeds indoors or in a protected environment for best results, especially for tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants. Provide bright light and warm temperatures for strong early growth. Transplant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, choosing a location with full sun and nutrient-rich, well-drained soil. Leafy greens like kale and lettuce can also be direct-sown as conditions allow. Water consistently and harvest regularly to encourage continued production.
