KSAT 12 teamed up with the San Antonio Food Bank’s Agricultural Initiatives program to plant seasonal vegetables like corn, beans, carrots, basil and squash.
Angela McDermott is the San Antonio Food Bank’s farm manager and she guided us on how deep to plant the seeds and positioning.
Remember because of the impact when you water, that’s going to push those seeds down, so keep that in mind when it comes to how deep you plant.McDermott said corn needs full sun and it’s best to plant them in a block, at least six inches apart or more. You want to put two corn seeds per hole, to guarantee germination. We planted these about a knuckle deep.You can eat these fresh like green beans or dry them and eat them as traditional beans.
We planted the beans about six inches apart down the rows. Remember the easiest way to know how far and deep to plant, read the back of the seed package, which always details how you plant.Basil seeds are tiny. Because they are so small, we put them right on top of the dirt, scattering with no particular pattern in one section.Water deep and even when you first plant. You want to water at the coolest times of the day, and water often until your seeds sprout.
