Plant Care Questions

  • A: Most starts should be planted within a few days to a week, weather permitting. Protect from wind and harsh sun at first. All starts are hardened off, but large temperature swings may require additional protection.

  • A: Water deeply after planting, then allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly before watering again. Overwatering is more common than underwatering, especially in cool weather.

  • A: Yes. This is often transplant shock. Gentle watering, temporary shade, and time usually help plants recover within a few days.

  • A: Many plants look different at various growth stages, especially as young starts. If you’re unsure, feel free to reach out with a photo and I can help confirm identification.

  • A: Most plants prefer loose, well-draining soil with organic matter. Avoid compacted or water-logged soil, especially for young starts.

  • A: It’s best to let plants settle in first. Wait 1–2 weeks before fertilizing, and use a gentle, balanced option if needed. I prefer organic options (fish emulsion, comfrey tea).
