Are you thinking about starting aHome Vegetable Gardenthis year?
Here are some must read tips to get you off to a strong start!
Plan Your Garden in the Winter
The best time to plan your spring garden is winter!
Beginning in January the seed catalogs come out in full force.
Sign up to get your free catalogs to figure out what you want to grow.
The squares are great for visualizing where things will go.
In our plan (see above)each square is a foot.
Take your plants growing habits into consideration
Each plant has a different growth habit.
You will want to plan your garden to confirm your tall vegetables dont shadow your shorter crops.
Try Something New!
But there are so many more delicious and fun-to-grow options out there!
Try growing a sweet yellow watermelon, chocolate tomato, purple pepper, or pretty purple pole beans!
But that doesnt mean you will have robust, bumper crops without a little prep.
it’s possible for you to take an analysis of your soil if you like.
You will need wood or similar to make a box.
Ideally you want it to be at least 12 off the ground.
This year I am maximizing on things we love that will be ready towards June/July.
This of course varies by your planting zone (found in all seed catalogs!)
The only exception to that is I bough my peppers & tomatoes as plants.
We always save a LOT of money & I know where my veggies come from.
So, are you planting a garden this year?
