Help & advice - first time salsa garden

[captiankush]

Hey all,

My cannabis gardening has inspired me to try my hand at some vegetables. I want to do a salsa garden on my deck as well as some strawberries, mint, basil. The salsa garden would contain heirloom tomatoes, cilantro, jalapenos, green onions and garlic.

I live in the beautiful Bay area of California. My deck gets direct sunshine for 1/2 the day and is in shade for the remainder of the day. Everything would obviously be grown in containers in soil.

My main questions to start are:

1. Are conditions required for each of the plants listed similar?

2: Do they require different types of soil, PH, etc?

3. Is it reasonable for all of the plants listed to be grown successfully in the conditions I describe?

4: When would be the right time to start looking for starters/ seeds?

I appreciate any help or advice I can get on this from my fellows RIU'ers

Thanks.

CK

You need to start now and read the different growing times for each veggie/plant. You may need to start some earlier or later than others. I think you can buy salsa garden kits at wal mart. I know I bought one a few years ago and it came complete with everything needed.

Definitely need to start now, lol. Kinda getting a late start. I have seen the garden kits but wanted something a little more personal.

I found a killer place that sells a huge variety of tomato starters, easily 60+ (I didnt count) varieties, all kinds of tasty heirloom varieties. It didnt take long for me to see a huge similarity in the way people are growing out different strains of tomatoes to find different phenotypes to my own pursuits in cannabis.

Here is the site for those interested

I am not endorsing this place but everything seems legit.

I appreciate the reply.
