Growing Vegetables: Indoor or Outdoor
Are you looking to start a garden, but not sure where to start? Don't worry; you can grow vegetables indoors in your house or greenhouse, and some can be dragged outside in your garden as well. In this article, we will discuss some of the vegetables you can grow, the best times to plant them, and where to grow them.
Okra
If you're in zone nine, you can directly seed okra in the first week of April, and it takes about three months to harvest. If you're below zone seven, start your okra indoors until the danger of frost and snow is over. Use biodegradable parts like peat parts or cow parts for transplanting okra, as it does not like being transplanted.
Cucumbers
Cucumbers love consistent and frequent watering, or they can turn out bitter. If you have trouble growing regular cucumbers, try Armenian cucumbers, which never turn out bitter.
Melons
Start your melons in the first week of April, and directly seed them into your garden. If you're in zone seven and below, start your melon seeds indoors for a head start on growing your melons. Watermelons, cantaloupes, and all different kinds of melons can be grown.
Squash
There are many varieties of squash that you can grow, including yellow critter squash, black beauty zucchini, and golden zucchini. Start some of your squash seeds indoors in mid-March, and plant them outside in the first week of April, or directly seed them. Winter squashes such as butternut squash and spaghetti squash should be directly seeded outside in May.
Pumpkins
Sugar pie pumpkins, Cinderella pumpkins, and all different kinds of pumpkins can be grown. Directly seed them outside in the ground.
In conclusion, you can grow vegetables indoors or outdoors, depending on the variety and your location. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced gardener, growing vegetables can be a fun and rewarding experience. Try out these vegetables and see which ones work best for you!
