 Harvesting
The best time of growing an organic vegetable garden is harvesting!! Using your organic vegetables in recipes cna save you money as well as allow you to taste the wonderful flavors of organic produce. The harvesting time for each plant depends on several factors including length of maturation time, temperature, precipitation, health of the soil, health of the plant, and insect and weed control. If any of these factors are less than optimal, the length of time from planting until harvest may be altered due to stunted plant growth, plant disease, and other distresses the plant may undergo. Using a product such as Safer® Brand 3-in-1 Garden Spray which eliminates plant diseases, insects and other pests is greatly beneficial to your plant as it will eliminate the problem without harming the plant or the ever vital soil. | | | How to Harvest 
How to harvest a particular vegetable or fruit depends on how it grows on the plant. Some may be snapped off, as in beans or peas, while others will need to be dug out of the soil, as in potatoes. Prepare yourself for harvesting by having the following tools and equipment with you as you harvest: gloves, shovels of varying sizes, comfortable mat on which to sit or kneel, containers for harvested vegetables and fruits, and a wheelbarrow for leftover plant debris. One rule of thumb that applies to harvesting any vegetable or fruit is this: do not leave any ripe vegetables or fruits remaining on the plant. Plants having over-mature vegetables or fruits will not continue to produce and will be more prone to diseases and insect pests. Safer®Brand brings you a variety of effective garden care products that are gentler on the environment! Most of them proudly display the OMRI Listed® organic seal and comply for use in organic gardening!
