Love Vegetables? Here is How to Start a Vegetable Garden

June 15, 2016Health & Wellness

Growing your own vegetables is a great experience to have. There are many benefits, such as having the vegetables that you love on hand during growing season, knowing where your food is coming from, along with having pride that you grew the food that you enjoy eating. In order to grow a vegetable garden, though, there are some things that you should know. With this knowledge, you can be successful in your growing adventures.

1. Pick a spot to start your vegetable garden

First of all, you want to decide where you will be growing your vegetable garden. Also, decide how big you want it. Vegetables need sun and room to grow so it is important to keep this in mind when choosing the perfect spot. As you choose the area, also keep in mind if it is a good choice as far as having access to water, not being in the way, and consider if animals may get into the garden.

2. Pick your crops

The time of year plays a role in choosing the right vegetables. Also, how much room you have should be considered. You will want to decide which vegetables you enjoy, too.

3. Plan your garden out

Once you get to this point, you should think about drawing your plan out on paper. This will give you a good idea of the space you have and the vegetables you want to plant. At this point, it is much easier to make changes rather than waiting until you have the plants in the ground. Sketch out the garden area, write down where you want each vegetable and then make sure that it will work out the way you want it to.

4. Prepare your ground

After you have solidified your plans, it’s time to get busy. Start by breaking up the ground where you want the garden to be. In order for the vegetables to grow to their full potential, you want to have healthy soil. Many times you can have local agencies test it for you, or do it yourself. After you know what you need to add to make the dirt healthier, purchase what you need and work on getting the soil just right.

5. Decide how you want to grow your vegetables

If you choose seeds, you will need to start them several weeks before you plan to plant them. With plants, you can purchase them and plant right away.

When you have your ground ready and your plants are ready to be put into the dirt, it’s time to plant your garden. Depending on the weather and the vegetables you are planting, you will want to give them water on a regular basis. This ensures they grow up nice and healthy.

As you can see, there are a few steps to take before growing a vegetable garden and they will help you create a bountiful harvest.
