Make troughs and plant seeds at depth and spacing as recommended on the packaging.

Step 4

Water deeply.

Step 5

Feed germinated seeds every 7-14 days with Miracle-Gro® Water Soluble Tomato, Fruit & Vegetable Plant Food

Step 6

Later in the season, be prepared to cover and protect your fall vegetable garden with frost protection fabric in the event of light frost.

When the time comes, pick your vegetables and enjoy!
