Garden Medley

A vegetable garden is a real pleasure when you get a good start to it, but sometimes the weather takes a turn you just aren’t ready for. Things heat up fast and suddenly your perfect garden is wilting and dying.

It’s a painful thing to see, but don’t accept defeat immediately. You may still be able to save quite a bit of your garden.

The first thing is to stay very aware of your garden. This can be hard to do if you end up working extra hours and just kind of miss that the weather has changed and your plants need more water. But do your best.

Planting a vegetable garden is a real delight. You get fresh produce, fresh air and light exercise. And it doesn’t require a huge back yard to do successfully. Even a small yard or deck is sufficient.

The first thing you need to do is figure out how much space you have for a vegetable garden. This will in part determine what you can grow. Some plants take more room or need more sunlight.

With your space considerations in mind you can start looking at the plants you want to grow. If you’re focusing on containers, tomatoes are a popular choice. Some people even hang them in a planter with a hole in the bottom, with the tomato plant hanging upside down out from the hole. (more…)

Starting a garden can sound really easy. Throw some seed in some soil, water and watch them grow. So easy a child could do it.

In fact, it isn’t that easy, as my 5 year old has discovered. She loves to plant seeds, but only once has one of them actually come up. It was a pumpkin, one of literally dozens from her Halloween pumpkin, and the plant is now thriving.

In case you’re wondering, no, she doesn’t get much supervision for her experiments. Digging in the dirt is just something fun to let her do. But if she had her way, we’d have an apple tree, peach tree, nectarine tree, cucumbers and pretty much every other fruit or vegetable that you buy regularly from the grocery store growing in our yard.

But when you do want your plants to grow, you need to know what to do besides put them in soil and add water. And that’s where an ebook such as Home Vegetable Gardening can come in handy.

This ebook will help you with planning, preparing, protecting and harvesting from your own garden. You’ll find that some vegetables are much easier to grow where you live than others. You’ll learn about how to garden successfully.

This ebook comes with bonuses, and I’m going to tell you my favorite. The ebook on organic gardening. I love organic gardening. I get great results from it, and it’s so nice to not have to buy fertilizers or spray for pests. It’s a bit more work, but I find it quite worthwhile on both a personal and an environmental level.

But perhaps most important is that the ebook comes with a great guarantee. You are promised that if you cannot grow a successful vegetable garden with the tips in this ebook, you get your money back. You have eight full weeks to decide. There isn’t any risk to you. If you still have your doubts, you can try the free vegetable gardening report to get just a taste of what’s in store, but I really suggest buying the book to get the most benefit.

Whether you suffer through harsh, cold winters or enjoy relatively mild ones, we are coming up on the time when you need to get ready to plant your seeds for your vegetable garden.

If you need another compost bin this time of year is great to add them, if only because there’s not much actual gardening work to do. Build one or buy one, just make sure you can easily add, remove and turn the material. (more…)

So you’ve decided to take the plunge and grow your own vegetable garden. Maybe it’s because you want organically grown produce without the high prices found at the store, maybe you want to show your kids where food comes from or maybe you just finally have room!

Whatever the reason, you want to read up on what you need to get done and keep things under control. Getting too ambitious with a vegetable garden can leave you overwhelmed and limit your ability to enjoy the produce. (more…)

A container garden doesn’t have to be limited to just flowers. You can grow a lovely vegetable garden.

Of course, not all vegetables will do well in containers. But quite a number will do rather well, as many vegetable plants really don’t grow all that large.

Tomatoes are perhaps the classic vegetable to grow in a container. They do well in at least 5 gallon buckets. Sugar lumps are a personal favorite. They’re really small, around 3/4 to 1-1/2 inches in diameter and grow in clusters. They’re just fun to pick and eat. (more…)

Just for fun (actually because it began to rot so soon), my husband took our uncut Halloween pumpkin to the back yard and cut the top off. He gave our daughter a choice – fill the top with a few seeds and some dirt or plant the seeds in the ground.

Of course she chose both. What did you expect? She’s 4! (more…)
