Are you a vegetable fanatic and have always wanted to grow your own? Maybe you want to save money and grow your own organic vegetables, or maybe youve always wanted to start a garden and thought a vegetable garden would be more rewarding. Your reason may be one of these, or another one completely. Whatever youre reason, youve decided to start a vegetable garden and want to know how.
Your first step is to make several decisions. You need to decide how big you want your garden to be, where your garden will go, what youre are going to plant, and how much you are going to plant. Think about what your favorite fruits and vegetables are and what will grow well in your region. Also, make sure you place your garden where it will get a lot of sun.
Now you need your tools and supplies to get going. The supplies you will need are are seeds, fertilizer, and soil. For the tools you will need some of your basic gardening tools such as a garden hoe, shovel, trowel, cultivator, tiller, hose, etc.
Now you can finally start gardening. Start by outlining and measuring out your garden plot, them start digging. Remove all the grass and use a tiller if you have one and need it. Use your other garden tools to break up and cultivate the soil. Make sure to remove all rocks, roots, and stuff in the ground that shouldn’t be there.
Once you have all the soil cleaned out, add in any fertilizer or compost dirt that you have. Compost is great because it is full of nutrients form old leaves, bugs, plants, etc.
Once you’re garden is ready, you can plant seeds or small plants that have already been growing. I like to plant my seeds in small trays early in the spring and then plant them when the garden is ready and the time is right. Done this way, you can weed out all the week plants and just use the strongest plants that you know will survive.
Now read the pack of your see packets for the directions. Plant them at the time specified and water them accordingly. Be sure to weed the garden everyday or at least several times a week. The longer you wait the more it will get out of hand and the more likely the plants you want won’t survive.
When your vegetables begin to grow you will have a beautiful harvest. Gather up your vegetables when they are ripe and ready to pick and enjoy them in your dishes.
