If you’re growing vegetables from seed in Fremont County this year, you may want to stop by Sweetwater Garden in Riverton to ask for some help.
Planting your veggies in a south, southeast, or southwest facing slope of your garden means the soil will warm up more quickly throughout the spring. Choosing a spot in full sun and making sure you are letting your potted plants spend a few days periodically in the sun before removing them from their original pot will help them get used to dry air and ultraviolet light.
Take care not to damage your plant’s root ball while removing it from the original pot, and water it before planting. Make sure if you’re planting several varieties of vegetables that they are grouped together by length of their growing period, with quicker growing crops separated from those that take all season to mature.
After transplanting your seedlings outdoors, make sure you maintain good moisture and feed your garden well. Irrigation for vegetable gardens is a must in Wyoming. Most vegetables require at least 1.5″ of water a week as they reach maturity.
Plants are living organisms and require food to thrive. To find the right fertilizer, talk to the experts at Sweetwater Garden. They have the perfect food for all of your landscape plants, from vegetables, flowers, perennials and trees and shrubs.
