TOMATO

Healthy tomato plant with ripe tomatoes

Growing Guide

Tomatoes need full sun (6–8 hours daily). Plant after the last frost, burying the stem deep to build a strong root system. Water consistently and avoid wetting the foliage to prevent disease. Use stakes for support and prune suckers for airflow. Fertilize every 2–3 weeks once fruit sets. Harvest when fully coloured but still firm.

MINT

Lush green mint plant

Growing Guide

Mint thrives in partial shade to full sun with moist, well-drained soil (pH 6.0–7.0). Plant in containers to control its aggressive spreading via underground runners. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist. Pinch top leaves to encourage bushy growth. Mint can be grown indoors year-round with adequate light.
