Planting Guide for Home Gardening in Alabama - Alabama ...
Seed and Plants. Seeds are cheap, so get the best available. Don't seed too thickly. Plant small seed, such as turnips and carrots, about 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 inch deep. Plant larger seed, such as beans, cucumbers, and peas, about 1 inch deep. Use only stocky, healthy, fresh plants. Always water transplants to settle the soil around roots.
