I always wanted to grow my own vegetable garden. How wonderful it would be to pick tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and so much more from my own garden.
Growing a vegetable garden has its rewards:
• Save money on grocery bill
• Fresh vegetable daily
• Out door activity
Start planning what you want to grow and decide when to start planting. Then, pick out an ideal spot with plenty of sun light, and be sure to plant away from any buildings, fences or trees (some exceptions). Remove any debris from the area, fertilize, plant the seeds, and nurture the garden as it grows.
Make sure that the soil is well drained. Once everything is established you will need to keep a watchful eye for bugs, weeds, and water regularly. When watering vegetables be sure to water at the base and not the leaves, because watering the leaves could cause disease in many plants.
Creating your own vegetable garden is something to be proud of. I would like to share my garden creation with you, and hope that you will be inspired to do the same. I will post pictures and ideas right here for you to see first hand the vegetables of my labor. Please share some of your gardening tips with me!
To your health!

I have also been gardening for years, primary vegetable gardening. I am just getting into preserve the excess vegetables from my garden. It is an art and takes a lot of practice.
Sue, if you don’t mind, please share with us one of your preserve receipts.
I wish I could show you all the results of my son’s work in our garden! It is taking over our yard! I am enjoying eggplants, tomatoes, corn, onions, just to mention a few.We have lots and lots of pumpkins too. It does require a lot of work and patience, but the rewards are great! My son, who is 18 years old, did it all himself. It takes planning, learning about the seed you want to plant, and lots of patience. It gets my son off the computer and his studies for awhile too. Great outdoor mental
health!
Thanks for sharing your son’s gardening success with us. You are right about gardening; it does relax the mind and relief stress. What’s your son’s favorite vegetable? Please attach pics!
