Planning Your Vegetable Garden
Gardening is fun and should also be productive.
I highly recommend for the new grower to the season vet to have a vegetable garden of some sort.
When most people think of a vegetable garden is the long rows structured an orderly with different types of vegetables in each different row.
Well you can garden that way but it really isn't as affective as making beds that can be easier and better maintained.
But even if you don't have a large backyard to build yourself a bed or set up a row or two, many vegetables can be grown in containers easily.
A quick list off the top of my head includes tomatoes, peppers, carrots, lettuce, beans, peas, cucumbers and eggplants for a group that can be easily planted in containers, great for the outdoor patio.
After you have decided on the size and type of garden that you are going to use you most then decide on where to put it.
Some people are not found of the sight lines that their vegetable garden provides and place them in the back of their garden.
They then get upset when their gardens do not produce to the level they anticipated.
Your vegetables need sounds light and some room to stretch their roots.
For those who do not like they look try a g potager style which is where you mix in vegetables and flowers to give a more appealing look to your garden.
Now when you go to start your garden spend time on your soil.
If you make sure there are no weeds and that you have a healthy soil and it will save you time and headaches down the line.
Break up the soil before you plant so the roots can break through easier and water will be easier to drain.
Now make sure any plants that you are going to grow will go well together.
An example of a bad idea is putting potatoes and tomatoes together.
The potatoes will stunt the growth of the tomatoes.
Do a search and plan your garden accordingly.
Make sure you rotate your crops also.
Keep your vegetables in their families: alliums, brassicas, crucifers, cucurbits, legumes, mescluns, and solanancea.
Keep your families together as they need to the same flavor of nutrients and they deal with the same type of pests.
Also try planting your vegetables at different times so your not harvesting mass amounts of one at a certain time and have no place for them.
Enjoy your vegetable garden aas it will be one of the best gardens you will ever have.
