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.

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 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.

When you are ready and the garden is set, you can start planting. You can either plant seeds or plants. I prefer to use plants that were either bought or that I planted earlier in the season to make sure the plants are more likely to survive because they are already bigger.

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.

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!
