With the costs of living rising all the time, it
may be possible to save money and increase your family's health at
the same time by growing vegetables in your backyard.
It's a good idea to choose your favorite vegetables to grow and plan
beds for early, middle of the season and late varieties.
Most vegetables require at least 6 hours of sunlight per day, some
need 8. Some quick growers like lettuce and radish can be grown
between the rows of plants that take longer to mature, like beet or
corn, thus making full use of the area available.
Throughout dry periods, vegetable gardens need extra watering. Most
vegetables benefit from an inch or more of water each week,
especially when they are fruiting.
During the growing season watch for insect pests. If you discover a
bug problem early it will be much easier, but be careful to not use
pesticides once the vegetable are close to being picked unless it
becomes an absolute necessity. Organic gardening is one healthy and
environment-friendly option. Once you have reaped your crop, put the
vegetable waste into your compost pile so that it can be recycled
for next spring.
It is important to protect your vegetable garden from wild animals
looking for a tasty treat. Make sure your garden is surrounded by a
fence that will keep out dogs, rabbits, and other animals. The harm
done by wandering animals during one season can equal the cost of a
fence. A fence also can serve as a frame for peas, beans, tomatoes,
and other crops that need support.
Protection is needed in order for your vegetable garden to yield a
bountiful harvest. Hard work will pay dividends if necessary
precautions have been made.
