Do you want to start a vegetable garden? Do love vegetables and gardening and want to put the two together or do you just want to be able to eat your very own freshly grown organic vegetables? Now that you've decided you want to start a vegetable garden, now you need to know how.
Now you need to make a few decisions. What do you want to grow? How much do you want to grow and how much space will you need? Where will you build your garden? Be aware of which types of vegetables you can grow in your region and make sure the plot you choose will get a lot of sun.
Now that you know what you're going to do, you will need to get all the necessary supplies. Make sure you have everything you'll need including seeds, fertilizer, garden tools such as shovels, trowels, cultivators, etc., a hose or watering can, and whatever else you think you'll need.
Now you are ready to finally start gardening. First draw out where you want your garden, and then start digging it up. Use a tiller if you have one or your other garden tools to break up the dirt and soil. Take out all the roots, rocks, and things that don't belong.
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.
When its the right time, read the back of your seed packets to find out, plant your small plants or sow your seeds in the garden. Water them according to the directions on your seed pack and make sure to weed your garden every day. Any plant that isn't supposed to be there will suck away all the nutrients necessary for your vegetables.
Soon your vegetables will start to grow and they will be ready to pick. Gather your vegetables when they are ripe and ready and enjoy them all summer long!
