Quick answers to common gardening questions
Can I grow herbs in winter in Vilnius?
Yes, but you'll need to move pots indoors or provide frost protection. We've got specific strategies for keeping basil, mint, and parsley thriving through the cold months. Some herbs actually prefer cooler weather.
How much sunlight do herbs need?
Most herbs want 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. South or west-facing balconies work best in Vilnius. If you don't have that much light, there are shade-tolerant options like mint and parsley.
What's the best time to plant vegetables?
For Vilnius, mid-May through early July works for most vegetables. We provide exact planting windows for tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, and more based on local frost dates.
How often should I water?
It depends on the plant, pot size, and weather. We give you specific schedules for each herb and vegetable. The basic rule: soil should be moist but not waterlogged.
Do I need special equipment?
No expensive gear required. Pots with drainage holes, potting soil, and a watering can are enough. We'll show you what optional tools actually help versus what's unnecessary.
What if plants get pests or disease?
Common problems are preventable with good spacing and airflow. Our guides cover organic solutions for pests and signs to watch for on each plant type.
