Your Questions About Gardening

Ken asks…

What supplies would I need to start growing bhut jolokias and chocolate habaneros inndoors?

I just bought some of these seeds and I would like to start growing them but I don’t think the conditions outside are very good right now. I live in New York and it is pretty cold here. I don’t really know anything about gardening, so any help would be appreciated.
Also, how much would all the supplies cost?

Hi Andrew,

This is Ricks Picks. I work in the Garden Department for The Home Depot. The biggest issue with getting you indoor garden going successfully inside is making sure that your new plants are receiving the full spectrum of light. Having a grow light will be a must for successful propagation of your garden Jolokias and Habaneros.

Initially, getting the seedlings to sprout can be done with your window box and a standard grow light found at The Home Depot or other hardware supply store. As the plant gets bigger the light requirement will increase. Temperature is also a key factor in getting your plants to grow well. LED’s are great for giving out a good light spectrum but do not produce the heat needed to help your plants grow to their full potential. With spring not too far away, it may be enough to just get your young seedlings to sprout and then come spring, transfer them to on outside area that gets more light.

Fluorescent bulbs are a great way to start off our indoor gardening adventure. To maximize your results, you will need to switch you bulbs out at the different stages of growth of your vegetables. The cool white bulbs give off more of the blue light spectrum which is great for the initial growth of your vegetables. The warm white bulb gives off more of the red light spectrum and is good for your plants blooms. To keep your project affordable, remember that you will need about 20-40 watts per square foot of growing area. Check out your local nursery supply for a heated seed starter that should help in keeping the “feet” of your new seedlings nice and warm.

Best of luck with your indoor gardening project. Be sure to take pictures of each step you take and share it with all of us!

Mark asks…

Where can I buy the supplies (as least expensive as possible) to start my own balcony garden?

To grow vegetables/fruits etc. I live in an apartment and would like to grow these in containers on my balcony. Where in my city (Austin, TX) could I purchase the things I need?

Any tips are welcome as well!

Watch for sales at your local Home Depot, and Lowes. Walmart and Target have good prices also.
The main thing to remember is keep the soil moist and not to over water, or dry out. I live in a climate similar to TX and it gets really hot in the summer. I check my containers every morning and every evening.

Good Luck

John asks…

What is the name of the garden supply place in Stanton, MO?

I’m looking for the garden supply shop/statuary just off Highway 44 in Stanton, MO. It’s either on the road (Hwy. W/Y ?) leading to Meramec Caverns or it’s on the outer service road near the Toy Museum. I tried an on-line search and found other garden supply places in the area but the one near I-44 and Stanton exit is what I’m specifically looking for.

Thanks for any help.
