In today’s ever changing times there is one thing that has been relatively consistent, people trying to gather as much as they can from the land around them. While the setting of land that people gather their food may have changed, the things that are needed to do it have not. In today’s article we are going to be talking about some easy ways that you can get the most out of your backyard and sustain yourself through home gardening.
The first thing that you are going to want to do when backyard gardening is get your seeds growing good before you plant them. You can do this a number of ways but one of the easiest ways to propagate the seeds is inside under a grow light. If you are new to using grow lights then high power LED grow lights are a good choice as they do not require a lot of knowledge or experience to operate. Use the grow lights until you see your seeds sprout, wait a week after and plant.
Deciding on where to plant your new sprouts can be a daunting task but it is best to plant then in places that you are not going to be frequenting that much. An ideal place is near lights like an outdoor sconce, lamp post, or wall lights, whichever place that you plant your sprouts just make sure that you do so in an area where there is little foot traffic and ample amounts of light.
Once you have planted your plants wait for them to grow and mature. Once they have reached their fruit bearing stages make sure that you pluck the fruits or vegetables when the flesh of the fruit is firm but full of color. An example of this is to pluck tomatoes from the plant when they are bright red and still very firm. Doing your plucking this way will ensure that you get the most out of your fruits without them spoiling too soon.
