How To Plant A Vegetable Garden
Wouldn't it be nice to throw some vegetable seeds on the ground and wake up days later with a small garden? It might happen in a Walt Disney movie, but in real life a good garden takes some careful planning and it does take work. What I'm going to do right now is quickly go over some of the basics of starting your very own vegetable garden. This is what I'm going to call my "how to plant a vegetable garden article."
Just like anything else in life, it's worthwhile to have a good plan to make a garden happen. In other words you should plan the work and then work the plan. Believe it or not, planting a small vegetable garden is quite simple and it gets easier year after year. Planting a successful vegetable garden is a skill, that should be passed on from one generation to another, because it not only teaches responsibility, but it also teaches self-preservation.
One of my secrets to planting a garden is to find out how the older people in my area are successfully planting their gardens. The reason why this is so effective, is because it's a massive time saver and because they will save you from making the mistakes they first made starting a garden. Also, you can get some great ideas from older gardeners on how to design your garden. Take a pad and pen with you and write down what they say and you'll be a master in know time!
It is vital that you make sure you know what gardening zone you are in and when you buy vegetables seeds, that you actually read the back of the package and follow the instructions. I know that may sound obvious, but it's very easy to overlook the instructions on the back of a seed package when you're excited about planting your garden. Take a guess what is the most physically demanding part of starting your vegetable garden? If you guessed preparing the soil you are correct!
I know this may sound like you're doing a little bit of detective work, but talking to the older gardeners in your community is the wisest thing you can do. You will be able to find out what vegetables grow best in your area and what ones don't. Some vegetables grow great in my area, while others don't. For example, in my area we have a hard time growing pumpkins and because of that, I would not be able to win a pumpkin growing contest, but I could win a tomato contest!
When it comes to starting a vegetable garden, you can never know too much and I would encourage anyone to get their hands on a good vegetable gardening guide or to purchase an organic vegetable growing video series. By self educating yourself this way, you will be prepared to ask the experienced vegetable growers in your community the right questions. If you start out by growing a small garden, you will have a green thumb in no time. You can learn my gardening secrets by clicking here!
