Humane Organics

What a great day for Humane and plants alike! This is the first Humane end cap location in a physical retail location. With many more to come we wanted to take a second to be thankful for all the support we have received. A special thanks to for putting these end caps in 12 of their locations! Go check them out!

Vegetable gardening tip: The optimal temperature for ripening tomatoes is between 68-77°F. And at 85°F, it's too hot for the plants to produce lycopene and carotene, the pigments responsible for the fruit color. Once temperatures consistently drop below 50°F, green fruits will not ripen. Tomatoes that have a bit of color change can be brought inside to finish ripening.

Pay close attention to how much light different plants need. Grow vegetables in a location that gets at least 8 hours of direct sunlight every day. Most vegetables need full sun to produce the best harvest. If you have some shade, try growing cool-season crops such as lettuce, spinach, radishes, and cabbage.

Understand your soil's drainage. Roots need oxygen, and if your soil is consistently wet, there are no air pockets for the roots to thrive. Many plants prefer well-drained soil, so amend your soil with organic materials to improve the soil quality.
