CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QC Life) - If you are planning a fall garden, now is the time to get your seeds in the ground. Sara Rubens joins QC Life to share simple techniques that make seed planting easier and ensure a bountiful harvest. Proper spacing is key - when seeds are crowded beneath the soil, roots compete and seedlings struggle to thrive. Crops like carrots require consistent moisture, needing water twice a day for about 12 days to germinate properly.
To make the process hassle-free, Sara recommends using seed tape (purchased online or made at home with bathroom tissue and a cornstarch paste) to space seeds about four fingers apart before planting.
Beyond seasonal planting tips, Sara is passionate about cultivating a garden-centered lifestyle filled with fresh recipes, homegrown wisdom, and practical gardening hacks.
