Your first vegetable garden

vegetable garden



Setting up your first vegetable garden is a challenging but rewarding process and you may need some help to get started.


Despite being an interesting and demanding hobby, your vegetable garden will save you money and provide a lot of fun. It is an educational activity for young children and teaches them the value and importance of conserving and respecting nature.


Planting your vegetables can be very cheap or free, however, the yield will be enough to cook a few good meals for yourself. Not to mention, the pride and joy you achieve when you consume the food you nurture are incredible.


One of the most important steps is being easily managed by someone with little or no limited knowledge or experience. For example, a garden of 3 meters to 3 meters with 5 or 6 vegetable plants may be the practical starting size. In this way, you increase your chances of success. It also allows you to evaluate whether you really enjoy such entertainment without spending too many resources in terms of time and money.


If you think the above is even more challenging, you may decide to go small, or grow light vegetables in containers, for example, fresh herbs on your home balcony or in your home garden.


If you have the flexibility to choose your location for gardening, here are some things to consider:



Facility

Solar motion

Soil quality

Water reserve


You may need a fence to protect your vegetable from large animals such as rabbits. You may also need an insecticide that respects animals and nature to protect them from small pests. Even better, you can choose an organic garden.


Before choosing which vegetable to grow, try to enjoy what you and your family eat and make gardening a practical hobby. Some vegetables such as tomatoes, colored peppers, and squash can be produced for several weeks. Other vegetables such as carrots, radishes, and corn are usually harvested once. These need to be replanted to reproduce.


Before planting any vegetables, make sure you are planting the right vegetables at the right time, considering the climate of your location. This usually varies greatly depending on where you are. Cold weather plants can be planted in the fall, for example, potatoes and broccoli, and warm weather plants like cucumber and eggplant in the spring. Also, adding compost to your soil will greatly help the overall health of your garden and give better results.


Achieving a healthy vegetable garden is possible, and it will give you new products and cost savings that will thank you and your family.

7 Big Impact Dwarf Flowering Shrubs

Scale with dwarf flowering shrubs Big gardens have a season in life, and we have unlimited energy to maintain perennial gardens and a quarter-acre vegetable patch that produces enough food for the entire neighborhood. But if you have a balcony garden or small garden three floors up when you're starting out, you can still use dwarf shrubs to create a beautiful outdoor living space. Dwarf shrubs are perfect for small space gardens When thoughtfully designed, a small space garden can be as visually appealing and emotionally pleasing as a sprawling yard. No need to sacrifice your favorite shrubs like roses and lilacs. You need to choose the right size varieties to match the size of the space. A short hedge or even a casket of flowering shrubs may be just what you need to make your patio feel like "home." Dual purpose dwarf shrubs One key to making the most of any space—but especially a small one—is choosing plants with a dual purpose. Peach sorbet blueberries pro...

It's not a yellow ladybug - it's an invasive Asian lady beetle

It's not a yellow ladybug They are similar, but one type helps control unwanted pests in the garden, while the other is a pest. Here's how to tell them apart. You usually want to see a ladybug in your garden, but the yellow ladybug doesn't look like one — it's an Asian beetle. Ladybugs are beneficial to your garden because they eat plant pests. However, many colored Asian beetles look like yellow ladybugs, but have turned out to be an insect. It is common to find large numbers of Asian lady beetles congregating in houses and other buildings in the fall. They can bite and emit an unpleasant odor when disturbed. Unfortunately, these invasive insects crowd out native ladybugs. If you can tell the difference between two pests, you can stop an annoying problem before it starts. Asian Lady Beetles vs Ladybugs You can identify a ladybug by its markings and size. There are many species, and most sport red shells and varying numbers of black spots. Their heads are b...

11 Succulents That'll Grow Without Bright Light

 Low light Succulents  Even in a home with limited natural light, you can keep plants, including succulents. There are many low-light succulents that can grow without bright light. They may not thrive or grow as easily as partial or bright light, but they are available. Most succulents are drought tolerant, which means you don't need to water as often, so they're fairly easy to care for once you learn their needs. Can succulents grow in low light? Succulents can grow in low light, although they will not grow as well as in bright, indirect light. They cannot grow in complete darkness, so try to find at least a partially shaded spot. They may start to grow a little leggy as they seek sun, but you can prune and propagate to adjust their appearance. 1.
